Default Refitting stock springs...which are front and which are rear???? Help!!!

I am returning my 2001 S2000 to stock. I have KG/MM springs in at the moment.

The black OEM springs look very similar, except that one set has a thicker coil and one a thinner coil. Can anybody please tell me which spring goes in the front and which goes in the rear?

On the KG/MM box, it says the front have a lower kg/mm rating. Am I correctly assuming that the springs with the thicker spring material are then placed in the rear?

Please help if you can! Many thanks!!

Simon

Just curious as to why you are going back...sorry I can't answer your question. BTW, how did you like the kg/mm's? Stock shocks with 'em? Are they for sale?

billman - thanks!!! How do you like your CBR? I have a '95 CBR900 bored out to a 945cc with cosworth pistons, Erion cams, Ti rods and 39mm flatslide's (just to name a few of the mods). 144.3 at the wheel dyno tested - faster than my friends modded R1. WooHoo!

Stealth2000....my car is a lease that is being turned in soon. I have the KG/MM DR21 'Race' version. You use the stock shocks with them. Sorry, but I already have a buyer for them.

Thanks,

Had my CBR since new. I've had it to the limit and it's been good, but time to part with it. $3900 by the way. Besides the S has quenched the need to vroom vroom
