Lower springs, which ones go front and which ones go in rear

I just bought a KYB NR-2 strut and spring set. The front was suppose to be -2.75 and the rear was -2.5. Installed the front but on the rear, it was very high, almost higher than stock. I think I got the springs switched. The ones I put on the front was shorter, fatter, have a low sequence of loops and a high sequence of loops. The ones on the rear are taller, skinnier, and have one uniform sequence of loops. Anyone here got any ideas?

The longer springs sometimes go in the front because they have to support the weight of the engine as well as the chassis. But each company designs their spring different. Or also sometimes the springs are marked with a F or R on the spring itself. Goodluck and try a search if i couldnt help you there should be some more info about it on here.
