Possible issue with Sportlines???
So, I got my Sportlines today brand new. I open the box to make sure everything is there. First thing I notice is this. Anyone with Sportlines, please tell me I'm NOT crazy.

Firstly, I noticed that with OEM springs, the fronts are kinda taller and skinnier than the rear springs being the rear springs kinda look short and fat.

Well....I open my sportline box today and right away notice that the part numbers printed on them suggest i put the shorter/fatter springs up front and the taller/skinnier springs in the rear. Am I crazy or what???
