NM Rear Springs Install Question

Hello all,

I installed NM Lowering springs and Koni yellows last week along with a lot of other modifications. The entire time I've felt extremely confident in all my installs, but I did notice after putting the full weight back on the car, the rear NM springs were touching at the tighter 2-3 spirals at the top. They did come with these clear rubberish parts that I left on, I presume to stop the metal touching, but I am just wondering if that was the correct direction, or if I should have put the tighter part at the bottom.

I feel confident that the fronts were done correctly, as they kind of only go one way, but the rears went so smoothly that I don't really recall checking if they went either way, they just fit the way I put them on.

If anyone can put my mind at ease, or tell me I'm an idiot and I need to take the rears back out that would be great!

I just checked pics from when I installed the same exact parts and for the rear, the tighter spirals are at the top. So I think you installed it correctly
