Ones with the thicker diameter wire are the fronts, the ones in the right in the pic.
Also with Prokits, the fronts are straight spring rate and the rears are progressive spring rate.... Progressive will have varying spacing between the coils while straight has even spacing.
Length of spring has nothing to do with it... both are around the same length.

Nope, both front and rear come with unground ends.

Nope... they only have the part number and Eibach logo. Part number can be used to distiguish but I can't remember what were the part numbers.

OEM are a hell of alot longer than the prokits. You can actually put the front springs on the rear of the car and vice versa. Both springs are wound the same way.
Let this thread die. The ones on the right are the fronts.
