whatever you do, dont ask skunk2 cuz they will give you the wrong answer like they gave me and expletive you up. this is what you do remove the spring from the front and the back and see which one is longer, then the longer skunk2 spring will go whichever it is. get it?

the heavier spring should be on the front because the front has more weight (b/c the engine). What are the numbers printed on the spring itself? From the picture it looks like the right spring has thicker coils so it should prob be the front one.
