The rears are just a smidgen shorter than the fronts. They have a 3 color pattern on the coils...something like purple, green, white or blue. They also have rubber around the top two or three coils.

Both front and rear Type R springs are 13.5" free spring length if my memory correctly serves me, and GSR front and rear springs are both 15" free spring lengths.

I know about the color coding of the ITR springs:
Front springs
top: gray
middle: blue
bottom: purple

Rear springs
top: blue
middle: green
bottom: purple

From this pic (these are genuine ITR springs: pic found on Honda-Tech)


So the ones on the left are FRONT, right side are REAR springs?
From the measurements of the 1st pic, the front ones are 13.5 inches, so the rear ones would be like.. 12.5 inches?
What about the RUBBER (sleevings?) on top of 2 or 3 of the springs? I can't really see the rubber in the above pic. Can someone help me spot them? (Are the rubber supposed to be on the top of the 2 Front or Rear springs?)
Thanks if you guys know and can help me out

The taller ones are for the front. Shorter ones for the rear.

You can always tell which end is up by looking at how the coil ends are trimmed. The flat side goes up so that it can mount flush with the spring hat.

In the picture, the side facing up is the side that should face downwards in the shock.

just wondering. Are those stock ITR springs the same as 94-01 regular non-ITR integra spings (eg. GSR)?
If they are different, what is specifically different between them? Do the non-GSR springs have 2 rubber sleeves attached to the rear springs as for the ITR ones?
