Default 98+ accord coilover help!!!

My gf purchased some coilovers from the net which are like those off ebay. For the 98+ accords out there that have the same setup or something similar, do the longer coils belong in the rear or in the front? So is the correct installation:
a) longer coils in rear and shorter coils in front?
or
b) longer coils in front and shorter coils in rear?

I need your help guys!

If it's like my spring/shock setup the long coils belong in the back.

what do you mean? on the 6th gen suspension?

One comment from my install, if you live in a cold weather climate where there is a lot of salt/sanding you may find the rear stabilizer links hard to remove. The allen head in the stablilizer links stripped out when I tried to remove the nut. You can do it without removing the stabilizer links, but it is a LOT easier with them out of the way.
