Question Eibach ProKit Springs Front?/Rear?

Howdy again,
I've got my springs off and I'm looking at Haynes, Chilton's, the Service manual, and the Pro Kit springs. I'm not sure which ones are for the rear and which are for the front. The ones that came off don't match any of the books. In the kit I have a longer, skinnier, looser coiled pair with nine coils and I have a shorter, thicker, tighter coiled pair with ten coils. I think that the nine coiled looser ones are for the back but I can't find any info about it. Any one out already crossed this bridge? Help!
Thanks,
Gabe

the looser wound springs are the backs. the tighter are the front. you'll know cause you wont be able to put the rears on the front struts.

The backs are also tightly wound on one end so they fit on the small, bottom spring perches.

Cool

Howdy All,
I got it figured out and the rears are installed and on the ground. Eibach puts their emblem right side up on the springs, I realized the fronts were upside down in the box and that the spring seats were opposite of each other. Now I'm just cooling off, it's 102 today.
Thanks for the responses, everybody have a good weekend.
Gabe
