Default Spring Install

Ok, still having problems with my springs. http://www.adventon.com/acb/showdetl...14293&CATID=20 <--those are the springs I ordered for my 93 Civic Ex 2 dr. Are these the right springs? Do the shorter springs go on front or rear? Need help extremely fast! TIA!

So if i put the short ones on the front and long ones on back, my car will be tucking in front and look worse than stock in back correct?

If you notice that the shorter springs have less coil then the longer springs. Since your engine is in front you need more support/give for when you hit a pot hole. Thus the rear is lighter and so you don't need as many coils for when the springs compress. Make sense?:thumbup:

Also when you take off your stock springs you will notice the longer springs are in front and the shorter one's are in back.

If i have one side with the right setup and the other side with the wrong setup, will it still looks messed up on the fixed side? As in do I have to have whole thing right for it to look right or will the side I have right look right?

:wtf:

If you don't have the two taller springs in front and the lower springs in the rear then your car won't sit right. Allignment will be off more and your tire's will ride incorrectly, it would be bad.
