Front Illuminas

Front Illuminas
Well I'm getting ready to replace my front Illuminas as well, and I just wanted to check up on one thing before I dive into it. The upper strut mounts have a dot painted on them, and I know that the orientation of this dot is very important when reinstalling the struts.
But since I originally had someone else install my lowering springs, I'm not sure if he oriented the dots properly so I don't wanna reinstall them the same way if they're not facing the right direction.
I've also read that the orientation changes if you have a lowered suspension vs. stock ride height. Mine's 1.5" all around, so would that be enough to make the dots face another direction?
Any help/advice/PICS would be fantastic!! Thanks guys.
