So I got a set of Neuspeed Sport shocks the green ones. I just put them on this weekend with my Koni's and now my rear end is lower than my front. I am thinking maybe i put the rear springs up front.

I put the the longest springs up front and the shorter ones in the back. Is that wrong or right?

Yeah, reverse them. The shorter ones go up front. Taller to the rear.

Also, usually there's letting on them, like "F" or "R" for "front" and "rear" respectively, and some springs are even handed, so you'll see stuff like "FL/LF" or "RR."

PS:
If you ever can't remember picture a big RWD american muscle car.

Also, think about the weight, when you accelerate the weight shifts towards the rear, so the rear springs need to be longer so the car stays flat & the front doesn't lighten up (and you lose traction) under acceleration (at least I believe that's the reasoning behind it).

K so I double checked and the long ones say F on them...... I have yet to pull the rear and look.... Any one want to chime in who has Neuspeed springs or that can clarify more..
Should the long ones be in back considering what Syndacate said or should I follow the lettering??

I sell a ton of different types of springs and some of the companies dont say which goes where... 8 times out of 10 the spring with <U>more</U> progressive (tighter or closer together) windings go in the rear. The spring that has fewer (more even spaced) progressive windings go up front.

Thanks for the input rob
Logic makes me feel like the springs with the most coils go in the front cause it holds more weight. But the gap makes me feel think differently..

Any more input from any one?

I just looked at standard oem springs, fronts are shorter, bigger diameter and fatter wire.
Also the front springs are ground flat at the top, the rears are not.
