Are these springs correct?

I just received my adjustable springs from ebay, and they all four look alike. Is that correct. My stock springs have a large style spring up front and the rears are the small ones.

Why would my new generic springs all be the small coils???

Coilover springs are straight rate springs. They should be either 2.25 or 2.5" in diameter.
If you bought some no name off e-bay, probably the best thing you could do with them is send them back.

No you cant use them safely. The front springs are different then the rears. Sounds like you got a coil over set or two sets of rear springs. DO NOT install the smaller diameter spring in the front stock strut. The front spring seats into the upper rubber isolator and the lower part of the spring butts up against the lower perch so the spring doesnt move.
