Default Spring Clocking?

I've got some Koni Yellows I'm about to install. Since the spring perches are adjustable and freely rotate, does it matter how the spring is clocked when installed? Should I try and match it to the position of the factory spring perch? On a side note, does anybody put anti-seize or anything else on their perches to keep the from rusting/seizing up? The midwest sucks.

you dont have to worry about clocking them, the spring purches will not sieze and there is really nothing you can do to stop the rust from happening.

Thanks for the reply, I'm finally getting these put together tonight. About the seizing I wasn't referring to the perches themselves, but the "snap" ring they sit on. Those tend to rust in place I hear. I doubt I'm going to adjust them again after I find the height that I like, but I think I'll put some anti-seize on them anyway.
