The best way to tell is:
1. Obviously read the LHS and RHS label on the base of the shock;
2. The spring spiral orientation should follow the direction of travel.
That is, the downward right to left coils should be on the LHS and the downward left to right coils should be on the RHS.
Interesting. Is this the case for all coilovers? I've not heard of it nor seen any manufacturers making a big deal out of it to ensure they are installed correctly.
