I think it's the other way around. Just check the part numbers on the site. http://www.ground-control.com

yea while puttin them on. i didnt know which spring went where. so i figured the longer one would go in the front cuz the motor is heavier up front. so what is the correct way ?

I did it that way too. Have had them on for about 2 years now and no problems. You could always call up GC and check.

Yes....shorter springs go with the longer sleeves in the rear, and the longer springs with the shorter coils go in the front.
