if the slot is in the back or something, your upper mount will rub on the strut tower, causing the spring to "jump" around in the strut, causing the noise you hear.
bro, I found out what you were talking about and you are right I did install them with out even thinking about the notches. I found this link after searching on spring install (http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/...spension.shtml) #9 in the instructions says the notch should be facing the back of the bolts towards the engine. Your telling me it should line up with the front bolts facing the opposite of the engine? Can someone set me striaght on this!!
