Default BC coilovers fitting problem???

Im just in the process of fitting some BC br series coilovers to my 2002 sti and im not sure which way round the adjustable topmounts go. the photo in the instructions is no help as it seems to be a photo of a different set of coilovers to mine. You would think it would be self explanitary but i think it could go two ways. Any help lads????? thanks

The slidey bits slide left and right, I thought there was only one way for them to go!?

If you want to PM me your mobile number, I can go and take a photo if you want. I cant put it up here as I'm at work until 10.

Could go three ways actually....

Photo is the usual one.

The second is to fit so the castor can be increased, by turning round by 120 degrees, I haven't tried that one though.
