Just picked up a used set of Espelir springs ... but I don't know which springs are for the fronts & rears. All 4 springs appear to be very similar in height. I noticed two of them have coils at the bottom that are wound more closely together. There is an "Espelir" brand visible on all 4 springs, but no visible printing/stickers of (F) or (R) for identification.

Two people who have Espelir springs (new and still in the box) have confirmed that the two left springs in my picture picture are the rear springs. The two springs on the right side of my picture are the front springs. Thanks guys!

BTW dead coils are the extra coils you're talking about.

Are those mine? hahaha

I believe the rears should be the one with the "dual" coil on bottom. The ones that are most closest together. I think lol

I didnt buy the springs from OBSerioso
got them from some guy in Walnut

Thanks for all the feedback.
So 2 people agree the left ("dual deadcoils") are for the front
And 1 person believes/thinks the left are for the rears.


the soL that could, please let me know what you find out after you check your springs at home. I appreciate all you guys' help.

Good luck. I'm not sure honestly but good choice on springs.

if you're referring the 2 in the left are progressive springs, then youre wrong.. thats a 2 step spring

edit...

linear spring = the space of the coils are even

progressive spring = the space of the coil is progressing (ex. from small space "progress" getting bigger)

2 step spring = other side short and opposite side larger space

Thanks for the PM.
The two left springs in my picture picture are the rear springs. The two springs on the right side of my picture are the front springs.

I'm sitting here installing these springs on an s2000 and dealing with the exact same problem.

the pics are dead... can anyone tell me which is which? there are two with coils cleraly closer together towards the bottom of the spring, and 2 that seem to be evenly spaced... I thought that the even springs were the front and the ones with the coils closer together on the bottom were the rear... but now I'm not sure?
