Well you definitely want them situated with the camber adjustment slots parallel to the lugs. They are meant to be adjusted left to right, not front to back.
i was told by a friend who lives a few towns over (who also has a p5 and is on the forums) the "YELLOWSPEED" should be closest to the engine, on the inside.
i have a question with the rear
i installed my coilovers have been playing with ride height, the front is how i want it (at least for now while i still use my winter tire/rim setup)
but the rear of the car is way too low. at this point, i threaded the strut mount (lower bracket) all the way down the shock body so that the base of the shock body was flush with the base of the lower bracket. i had to thread the lower bracket down an additional amount (around an inch) and THAT is what the picture shows. It is still much too low. I am afraid to thread the lower bracket down any further to achieve more of a height raise because i do not want to have only hald of the shock body in the bracket, it doesnt seem safe or smart.
what is the issue? it seems to me I am technically raised to the maximum these coilovers offer, yet I am very very low height wise. I can fit my fingertip up to just past my fingernail... i think something is off because if this is the maximum height and i threaded it up all the way to get the lowest setting, i think the hub would be touching the fender almost haha
is there a difference in msp/p5 yellowspeed colivers? i really dont think so but i do know when i put the msp tokicos on my p5 in the rear it was raked due to a different perch height
