Thumbs up 2005, which springs go where?

I'm having my suspension guy take out my Espelir coils and put my stock ones back in my 2005, on the lower Koni setting. He says the darn coils are almost identical in size! Which ones go where? I need a definitive answer and quick, he is working on it right now.

Two coils have the color coding: pink, orange, blue
the other two are: pink, yellow, blue.

Which ones are front and which are rear?

Yeah, the colored dots on the coil springs. Pictures shouldn't be required. Your stock springs have three splashes of paint on them, a circle or pink, next coil orange, next coil blue. Other spring, same but pink, yellow, blue.

Any help pleas!

o0o0 stock springs. Okay. Sorry I'm at school so I can't check out my stock suspension. I do have some very blurry pictures that may help.( most likely not though).

I called the Honda dealer where my wife works and none of the tech nor the parts dept could find out. My suspension guy is going with his gut instinct. He'll know as soon as he puts the car on the ground!

I'm going back to stock, but using the lower perch on the Konis. With the Espelir's on the high setting of the Konis the car was just too dang low for a daily driver. My tires have rubbed on the fenders a few times, cutting chunks of rubber off and tweaking the fenders a little bit plus the car scrapes just getting out of my driveway. I guess I'm getting too old for low riders! Plus, the car handled better on the stock set up, as much as I hate to admit it!

Thanks Jimi. That is exactly how my alignment/suspension guy put them back in.
