Default How to tell difference on front and rear Eibach springs?

I just got my Eibach pro-kit for my 92 Civic hatch and I cannot distinguish the front springs from the rear springs. One has coils that are slightly thicker than another.

i would say the thicker ones go in the front because of the weight distribution.

do the springs have any markings on them to tell you which could be front and which could be rear?

No markings like an F or a R. There are numbers, but nothing else.

4017.001 on two of them
4017.002 on the other two

There is another 5 or 6 digit # on them but I dont happen to remember it off the top of my head.

Like Jun Ek9 said. Front is alot heavier than the rear due to engine/tranny so the thicker coiled springs should go up front.
