installing lowering springs

i just got my set of eibach pro-kit springs. when i put them in the control arm, i line the end of the bottom of the spring with the indentation on the control arm right? You know how it dips down in one spot, in lined the end of the control arm in that. is this right?

The "pig tail" on the front springs should be postioned on the inside of the A-arm. You will also see two drain holes in the arm. The tail of the springs should cover the first hole and partially cover the second hole.

yep, there are two holes on the inside of the spring pocket, the end of the coil needs to cover one but leave the second open.

When I put mine springs on in the front I just covers the first hole...when I say covered I just put the end of the spring just covering the first hole and went no futher....

I have heard to cover the 2nd hole partically, do you think that if I was to cover the second hole partially of atleast split the difference in the middle of both holes that would make my front end lower?
