Default Is this an eibach or stock spring?

i have a 99 civic ex...i bought a set of eibach prokit springs about a year ago..i was never really happy with the way my car looked lowered on them..the back looked lower than the front....i was told that the springs may have been put on backwards... i took a pic of one of the back springs..theres no eibach logo on it the front ones have an eibach logo on it and these #'s 145344 and 4018.001 they also look alot cleaner...any info? thanks

Eibach's Pro Kit springs are black, there Sportline's are red. We will need to see a side view of the car.

you should be able to clean off the back spring and be able to tell if its stock.

if you see like pink and green dots, then its stock. thats how honda identifies their springs. prokits SHOULD have eibach branding on all 4 springs too, just like youve shown on the fronts.

An even drop, will look lower in the back. The car was this way stock, you just couldn't tell a 1/2" difference on a 3" wheel gap. With a 1" wheel gap, suddenly 1/2" looks like a huge difference.
