Default Installing BC coilovers!

Hello guys, need some insights.
I am about to install my coilovers on by myself. First of all, I have no experience so I need some help . I have gotten a pair of new bcr coilovers and on each coilover, it reads front and rear, but does not state left or right side. Does it matter which coilovers go right (passenger) or left (driver) side of the car?

as long as everything matches and bolt up, its fine. You also need another person to help. I usually takes two people to tackle this job

Doesn't matter left or right. It matter front and rear. You can do itself as I did. It just take about 3hrs. You only need help in the rear for the 3 bolts to hold the top mount. As you'll be under the car to line the hole up. It straight forward install.

Get a friend and some pizza/beer to help you. Do it on a Saturday when you have a lot of time and stores are open if you need a part or break/loose something.
