Default which lowering springs front, or rear?

Bought skunk2 sport shocks and lowering springs. Do the taller of the springs go in front or rear. The taller are closer to the fronts in length and I am leaning towards that. Am I correct in this assumption?

..... The taller go in the back and shorter go in the front, it gives it a more aggressive look. If you put the taller ones in the front it'll just look retarded.

I put the taller one on the front and torqued the hat down to spec and there is hardly any space between the coils towards the top of the spring. I just dont want the spring to bottom out when going over bumps. Any thoughts?

Why? It will just look retarded now... You shouldn't worry about bottoming out with lowering springs you would be fine with the tall ones in the back and short in the front, how they are supposta be! But now if someone asks why your car is higher in the front and low in the back, just say its bagged

Thanks for the info. I haven't put the assembly back in cuz it just didn't look right. I'll swap springs. It's no wonder the compressors didn't want to come out of the spring.

Taller ones in front, they have more weight to hold up.
