Oem Rear spring upside down?

Can anyone confirm for me which way the oem rear springs should be installed? I have a 05X and the rear springs on seperate coils have one pink and 2 yellow dots. Does the one dot represent the top and and the 2 yellows the bottom, or the 2 yellows should be up top and the pink on the bottom? Thanks in advance!

The bottom of the rear spring is the wider end. It should also fit exactly in the insert in the spring cup, with the end of the coil seated correctly in the groove up against the stop.

Thanks BlueDream. The OEM springs don't have a narrow and wide end. On one of the ends the coils are closer though. So I'm going to guess that would be the bottom?
