Default Proper Strut Orientation???

Have been messing with the TRD springs for a month now and canted get the rear to sit level. I have taken it to Several places to have them look at it and all say the Spings are seated correctly. I have tripple checked all tourques on all bolts. I looked again today and noticed the when looking the stut on the passenger side, the Pocket for the sping is facing the inside IE you have to take wheel off on get in behnd the strut to see it. But on the drivers side you can look directley at the wheel and see the sping pocket on the obttome of ths sturt. Is this the way it is supposed to be orientated.

Below is a link to a pic of the Passenger rear. AGain you cant see the pocket from that angle on the bottom of the strut but on the Drver side you can. Is this correct or do i need to Turn the bottom stut mount 180?

OK you have to let the springs settle first them measure wheel gap. To my knowlegde the spring pearch is not adjustable so......

Damn TRD springs are thick. From this pic, it doesnt look like the end of the spring is sitting in its pocket. From that angle you should be able to see the cut off of the spring, in your case I dont. If you look directly in the middle of the first loop and follow it to the left, I can see the spring is actually RESTING on top of the perched pocket.

I looked at what you mentioned. The spring is bigger round than that perch. It sits the same way on the other side.
