The rear perch should go just like it does on stock shocks or any other, facing up like a cup that you can pour liquid into.

who knows man, just look at how the perches look on the stock shocks, the Koni ones are exactly the same and go the same way, except that they just aren't welded to the shock body.

I remember the way I figured it out a long time ago b/c I wasn't sure at the time either.

I took a stock front shock and the Koni shock, placed them next to each other, and compared the perch heights. If you do this, you'll notice that putting the Koni perch upside-down makes the spring sit up a lot higher. It's the opposite for the rear.
