i'm sure they are, but most prefer the rear slammed compared to the front. i think it looks weird.

It seems that "s2k_dre" is correct and most of ya are wrong because I personally contacted Skunk2 and this is what they had to say...

Danny,

Thank you for contacting Skunk2. To answer your question, our
technicians tell us the spring with 8 coils are the ones that go up front but
just make sure they are the thicker coils as well. Thank you again for
contacting Skunk2.

No problem. According to the information given by skunk2 technicians...
8 coils front
9 coils rear

This clearly shows just because everyone installed it a certain way doesn't mean it was correct. Have fun redoing yalls suspension!

I'll post pictures when I switch from tein stechs to skunk2 springs.

I put my skunks on tonight, 9 coils in the rear and 8 in the front. And damn theres a huge difference. Im going to give in another week to seat then get an alignment. Right now as it sits there is a two finger gap in the front and rear. And the car rides really nice. Easyist suspension i have ever done. Took an Hour and a Half...

my friends s2k took 3 weeks to settle to the point where it was slammed and my took a day or 2, so every s2k is different.
