Default Caliper cross spring direction of installation?

I'm looking at the Porsche diagram and i'm looking at the cross springs in my hand, but they don't really resemble each other enough for me to make a solid conclusion on the direction I should install this spring.

The wings on the side of the cross spring kinda tilt upward from the center line of the cross spring (or downward, depends on orientation from which you're looking at the profile). So should the tilt of the sides be downward, toward the caliper body, or upward, away from the caliper body?

Thank you.

I should go and check but I'm pretty sure its downward toward the caliper so the centre of the cross is the "high point". That way it is pressing the pads down into the caliper.

Okay, so sides angled toward the caliper body w/ the center area being the high point. Will do.
