can anyone tell me which spring is the front and which one is the rear?

 

The ones with the thicker coils are for the front.

Thicker coils= stiffer springs

Stiffer springs= go on the front.

yes he's right. on springs like that the thicker ones go in the front. but a stiffer spring in the rear will make you handle better. most high end coilovers come with thicker springs out back.

Yes, but those are coilovers. Feel free to put those big springs on the back of your car if you want the front absolutly slammed and the rear to be like 4 inches higher.

For his application the stiffer ones go on the front.

Matter of fact, damn near EVERY coilover/spring application off the shelf has the stiffer ones on the front, because most people aern't good with a neutral/oversteering car.

EDIT: I don't know why I'm catching flak over this....I'm right.
EDIT x2: Thanks Chris y0!

 

so the springs on the left are for the front. thanks guys!

If you don't consider the Zeal/buddy club setups high end what do you consider high end for gods sake? Even the HA's (I'm a big anti-tein guy) are pretty damn nice IMHO.

its pretty simple actually. all it is, is just penske CART suspension i put on my civic (yes it bolts right up if you were wondering). my boy AJ foyt hooked me up i only paid 20 Gs

 

20 g's!?

 

20,000 ?!?!?!? Holy **** that is alot to spend on a suspension unless you are racing professionally or something. I am right along with Ricey here in saying I don't even know WTF they are but they sure look high tech.

i am infact a racing professional. yes the suspension is high-tech, however i still need something with a few more options. at this point in my career i am actually limited by this primitive suspension.

 

At first glance i thought it was air cylinders

nope... just a pair of preloadable coilovers and infinitely adjustable dampers with a hydraulic center link. just the basics

 

what the **** do you do? 20g's for a primitive suspension, I will kill some one for 20g's. Damn it might be some crazy ****. Us poor kids are trying to scavange some used KYB AGX, lol.

20Gs isn't that much to me. like i said im a racing professional. my sponsors gave me a lot of money to upgrade my car so i can be competitive at the USGP @ indy this year.

 

hey, are you guys sure that the thicker ones go up front? i installed them the way you told me but the rear is 3in higher. the front looks normal. should i just switch them around?

In case you haven't realized, he is being facetious.
