Upside down springs

Hi Guys,
 
Just had a call from my mechanic who is doing the front end alignment and he thinks the front springs are upside down???
 
It's a 2ltr 78 MKII with yellow King Springs up front.
 
Does anyone know if they have a right way up or not?
 
Would love an answer ASAP so I can pick the car up today.
 
Cheers,
 
Matt

    I think the wide coils are top, tight coils at the bottom

    Wrong, the stacker coils go to the top.
