I think the shorter ones go in the back, longer ones in the front.
The rears should also have varying distances between the coils, and the fronts should all be the same.
hope this helps.

Don't your springs come with a note? Like... a "R" for rear and "F" for front...? Also are you riding on stock shocks?... the bumpy-ness may be from that.

lol that is also true, and yeah they should be labeled somewhere, my tein's had the f and the r in the serial number, i realized that after i put the fronts in the back and visa versa , and yeah make sure you have the metal collar at the bottom of the assembly on the shock rod, otherwise your **** will be all over. good luck .

Blues are only replacement parts not really for lowering cars... get Tokico Illuminas if your going Tokico... Just some 411.

tokico blues have a shorter piston, perfect for a .75 drop, ok anything lower than that....koni yellows are where the performance at

and illuminas arent all that good

Now that you mention .75 drop... well that's good enough then. Tokico's aren't that great but yeah... theres alot of good brands out there. Koni seems most dominate. I rather just get Tien Basic. If money wasn't a issue, that is...
