i think i installed the front springs upside down

hey i just noticed that with the moog front springs that there is a white mark that supposedly tells you which side goes up... they say that the white mark is suppose to be the top... i put them in with the white mark down where they are suppose to be indexed between the two tiny holes in the a arm.... is that bad... my handling is way better than stock for sure... does it matter about which side goes up.... cause i think i have the spring up side down after looking at the box....... my car doesnt sit high or anything... car feels tight and feel much better now and im pleased with the results...... should i worry about that... because it seems that the side i put up was flatter than the side thats suppose to be up...

the top of the spring is ground flat, the bottom is open to sit on the a-arms pocket, it would be obvious if you installed it upside down, and it will sit on the a-arm weird.

the things is neither top or bottom of the spring is ground flat both ends are round........ it must be installed right then because it fits perfect and sits normally and handles excellent.... dont have a single complaint about the cars handling....
