Question Height difference within the same set of springs?

Hi, does anyone know if there can be a height difference within the same set of springs for our cars?
my friend told me the rear springs are different from each other, like one is taller than the other.

thanks.

p.s. i know the front springs are different from rear, i am talking about within the 2 rear springs there are difference.

whoever told you that lied. Both rear springs are the same height/shape/width/spring rate as one another... same goes for the fronts.

that's weird...
'cause i think Koni only makes this set for our civics in either 50mm and 55mm version, which the springs should be the same in either case. i don't get how they could have messed up.
any chance they compensate the weight on driver side or something?

The rear stock springs look identical for each side. Same thing for the Konis. If your friend is comparing stock to Koni, theyre gonna look different since stock is linear and Koni are progressive.
