lowering springs

I am redoing my front suspension and I got some hotchkis springs...my question is, which side of the front spring goes up into the frame, the flat side or the other end?

Flat side up with the rubber isolator.

The lower a-arm is formed so the coil side fits into it. There should be 2 small holes. Line the spring up so the spring is covering 1/2 of the lowest hole.
