Default Eibach Springs installed backwards

It was a late night, installed new rotors, pads, bled the break fluids, valves tuned, and installed Eibach 1" drops. Found out they are backwards. You think I can get away with it leaving it the way it is, or is it best to go to the trouble to put them in the correct way? Fronts have back springs and backs have front springs. We thought the shorter springs looked right for the front. And the front is about 1/2 inch higher than I would like. Do you think the back springs are stiffer? I'm afraid that with the correct configuration my front will be even higher. Any thoughts??

from every drop spring ive seen the springrates are different F/R. But that would also bother the hell out of me too.
