Stock Si springs question?

just to make sure the skinny short springs are for the front and the long fat ones are the rear right?

easiest way to identify the rear springs is by the ground end. The front springs ends are not ground (flattened), the rear spring at the top is ground. You can't miss it. Also, the front springs are opposite wound where as the rear springs are both wound in the same direction.

And yes... there is a left and right front spring so keep track of where each goes.

Tape the factory springs while they are on the car and lable them. I was puzzled for about 10 minutes when I had mixed up one passenger side Si spring with both from Ex springs. Only had the drivers side Si. So label the springs it will help!
