It does matter. but when u put them in place you will easily realise if there wrong. one way the sit perfect in the bottom mounts. Other way they dont curl round the mount properly. if yours are wrong id suggest changing them about to be on the safe side.

everyone says their exhaust rattles when they lower their cars, mine tapps lightly on the rear chassis bit but its now lowered about 70mm and it still doesnt catch the axle :/
