Ok, on the bottom side of the spring that 'stopper; part of the 'housing' is just past the drain hole on both driver and passenger side.....but the drivers side is towards the front of the car, and passenger side towards the rear of the car...so when I did the drivers side, I saw for sure that the tail of the spring stopped just before the drain hole, so thats where I put the drivers side....for the passenger side, since I foolishly pulled it out before looking closely, I deduced (I will not say assumed!) that the tail should also stop just before the drain hole...however this leaves the tail of the drivers side pointing to the front, and the passenger side facing towards the rear.
The part that confuses me is when I did eibachs on my 5.0 (I'm not comparing the two cars...) that they specifically stated that both spring tails for the rear should be pointing to the rear (my though is that they should point in the same direction).
However noting the position of the drain holes...well that just throws me off....
If someone could take a peek at the passerger side, and note where the upper (the upper is quite visible) tail end is pointing that could help me compare it to where my upper is pointing. Just a thought....
