Icon3 skunk2 lowering springs question!

I'm about to install my new Skunk2 lowering springs but I'm not sure which ones are for the front and which ones are for the rear. Two of them have less, more spaced out coils and the other two are more coils together. Could someone please tell me which ones are supposed to go in the front and which ones go in the back? Thank you!

damn, IMHO those springs make too much of an abrupt transition between the soft end and the stiff end of the spring. A good progressive spring shouldn't need that many coils that close together (which will all be just dead coils and doing nothing when the springs are loaded).

IMHO that spring design looks like crap. You'll probably be riding on the stiff end of the spring all the time, which kinda defeats the purpose of a progressive-rate spring.
