Default Ground controls spring rates on right??

I put tokico blues with ground controls on my car today. I put the ones that read GC.180.xx.xx in the front.. And the rear ones read GC.200.xx.xx im tucking tire in the front with the perches all the way raised. And my rear perches are all the way down. And have 1/2inch of wheel gap in the rear. Are they on backwards??

But does ride like a dream

The first number is the free length, not the rate. The least you could do is post the complete part numbers. Typically the 8" springs (200mm) go up front while the 7" springs (180mm) go in the rear.
