Maybe, did you look on the springs to see which way they went? There should be a F for front and R for rear printed on the S-Techs.

well it said F and R, but when i looked at the old springs it matched the opposite way. and when i asked about it from a friend they told me that Long skinny int he front and short fat in the rear...

I have short front and long skinny rear. I think i just gotta switch it around.

I believe the short fat ones go in the back, tall skinny in the front.

the long ones go in the rear
the upper section normally has a lot of coils tightly wound rather than seperated

shorter ones normally go in front

God i don't know who to trust i have IRL friend sthat say SHORT Farther apart springs in The Back and Long skinny more coils on top in the front

Now the Letters on the springs go against that by having F on the Short ones and the R on the long skinny ones.

RAWR When i took off my old springs it was the other way around Long skinny front and Short more apart rear...

. Is there any manuals this is crazy stupid tein doesn't give manuals or tags!

Ah **** my bad, I knew as soon as I thought about it that my info was wrong. It seems like the tall spring would go in the back but I forgot it is vice versa, good catch.
