Default 92-95 Civic Eibach Pro kit springs quick question

I have a 94 Honda Civic CX. I got Eibach Pro springs. Question is when i open the box, i see 4 springs separated by cardboard boxes. The two inner springs looks alike, and the two outer looks alike. Which ones goes in front and which ones goes in rear?? Two of the springs are smaller diameter/ tighter coils/ and more coils. The other two is a bit wider in diameter/ a bit looser coils and a bit less coils. Thanks.

If you have a set of calipers to measure the wire diameter, the ones with the thicker wire (higher spring rate) go in the front.

Oh, I see. I do not have that tool, can I use a string and just measure it that way?

Do they have part number markings on them? They may reference to their website, installation instructions, or just simply call up Eibach and ask them what part number cooresponds to what spring front/rear or light/heavy.

Is this the part number of the springs or the measurements of the diameter of the coils? Thanks.

I just check and .002 is in the rear. So I guess it's correct. Thanks guys.
