I bought a Rimmer Bros. replacement Spit 1500 spring a couple of
years ago, again not marked back and front. I don't think it really
matters which way round it goes. In fact, each time I take the spring
out for whatever reason,I swap it round so that it wears more evenly.
This appears to make no difference whatsoever to the way the car sits
or drives.
