Default Bought used h&r springs for 94-01 which spring is the front?

Just like the topic says I bought a used pair of h&r springs and was wondering which one is the front. THe reason I ask is becuase the longest springs are have a number that ends in f and the shortest springs have a number that end in r. Do the longest springs goe in the front?

Yeah it turns out the "f" means front and the "r" means rear. I was just confused because the ones marked "f" are the longest ones. I was looking at my eibachs to compare and they are the opposite. With them the short ones go in the front. With these the long ones go in the front.
Anyway for anyone that is wondering the H&R race have a beautiful drop compared to the eibach pro-kit. I'm just on the stock shocks for now but they don't really feel too bad either. I won't be using them for much longer though.

Well thanks for the help guys.

that's kind of weird because on my h&r race springs... the front ones are shorter and the rear ones are longer.

sorry to thread jack...

i also have h&r race springs on my car. i put the ones label that have the "f" in front(keep in mind they are the shorter ones) and the "R" in the back(keep in mind they are the longer ones).

for some reason it's not a leveled drop. i do understand the there is mroe weight in the front. it would only be wise to use the longer ones in the front. then how come the longer ones are labeled for the rear?

I don't know, mine were the opposite, the longer ones were marked with the F and the shorter ones were marked with the R.
