Default -------Stock spring reintall question

I lowered my car two years ago with some lowering springs, but now my bro is taking it to college and i need to raise it back up. Can someone tell me which springs go in the front and which go in the back and which way is right side up and upside down?

I am doing it myself. Why else would i ask which way the springs go.... I'm working for toyota right now, working my way up to being a master tech Everything turned out good. Only took about 2 hours to do both the front and back. All four shocks were completely blown. lol.

if they're out of the car and off the springs, you can push them down and they won't come back up or they will come up slow. If they're still attached to ur car, just push down on each corner of the car and if it bounces, instead of just moving alittle before settling, then they are blown

you can also check for oil where the shaft runs into the body of the shock, if there is oil there, they might be blown.
