Eibach Springs, Which is the front and which is the rear?

[bwhitmore]

I am doing my Eibach spring install today. I noticed there was no directions with the kit to say which spring goes in front and which goes in the rear. I thought it would be obvious but it isn't. All I have are two springs that are more tightly wound with numbers on them ending in .002. And two springs that are less tightly wound ending in .001. I assume the more tightly wound springs go in front but the numbers throw me off.

Unfortunately for me Eibach is closed today. Does anyone know which is which?

Here is a post that clarifies the position. The shorter ones go in the back...longer ones go in the front

Thanks! That means the 2830.001 is for the front and the tighter 2830.002 is for the rear.

Fronts are rated around 357 lbs and the rears are 400lb-800lb variable...See how the rear springs (shorter) are tighter of a coil at the bottom of the spring than they are at the top? Variable.
