The longer ones go on the front.
If you bought some **** kit, there's no guaratee what goes where.
The softer ones should go on the front.

I love when people go out and buy **** they know absolutely nothing about.
Springs are rated in lb-in
Bigger the number, the stiffer they are.
Like I said, if you bought shitty stuff, there's no guarantee what goes where, the longer ones should go in the front. In the event they're the same length, get rid of them, its a sign they're **** and "universal". The stiffer ones should go out back like I said before. If you don't know what the hell you're doing and don't know anything about what you have, don't bother.

I have to agree with boilermaker here, I mean you wouldn't buy a can at the store that only said "MEAT" would you? You have to know what you're buying into, this is your car and your SAFETY you have to worry about. If you don't know stuff about the product or its application, it's best to take a few minutes and check it out, ask some questions before you plop down some cash on it, no?
