They are installed both ways....depending on the maker. The top adjuster type simply fit over the the bump at the spring's top mount and the bottom adjuster type are usually bolted through the lower swing arm.

FK's are either way up, but i put them at the bottom. yes it would be more difficult to adjust - but once your happy with your ride height how often are you going to really change it? Plus i found it easier to just drop the lower arm - adjust the height then bolt it back together!

The adjuster SHOULD be at the top.

My FK's are the same, I wasn't a fan of the adjuster at the top
Only takes me 5mins a side to adjust once the wheels off
