Default Sprint Springs question

I just picked up some used ones. Two of the springs are wound the same all the way through (linear?) and the other two have part that's closer than the rest (progressive?). Which ones go in front and which go in back? This is for a '93 Si.

BTW- anyone have any experience with these? I'm going to be using them with some stock gsr struts. ?

So I think the progressively coiled ones go in the front. Can someone please confirm this?

Front springs usually has different diameter at top and bottom. Smaller size goes down, biger to up. Rear springs usually has same space between parts of springs, and same diameter in both ends. Any way, you couldn't mount rear springs at front fork becouse of different diameter.

and i will recomend you to use famous manufacturer springs - like Eibach, H&R, Skunk, Tein, RSR, Espelir and so on. And do not use standart shoks with coilovers or lowering springs with big drop - you shocks will die very soon.
