Dont know about the s2's, but stock valve springs are supposed to be installed with the tighter coils towards the bottom. If the coils are evenly spaced all the way down them I'd say it doesnt matter which way you put them in.

i would'nt risk your valvetrain with awnsers from honda-tech members/forum board people. Most don't have experince, and doubt you can trust an awnser. Call up skunk and ask or send them an email. I'm gonna say it does'nt matter.. but just ask them.
