For insturctions it depends. For starters what kind of springs are they? Have you checked the manufacturers website?

Tighter coils go at the top - I've never heard of anything different on our cars.

I once called a shop about the dropzone springs guy said it didnt matter which side the tighter coils were on. My coils are tighter on the bottom vice the top. I dont think it makes a difference, Maybe I need to switch to see if it does matter but I doubt it.
