Default Are my H&R springs mounted the wrong way?

My car came with H&R springs already mounted.
Is there any way I can check to see if the rear springs are mounted in the front, and the front springs mounted in the back? I read somewhere it was pretty easy to to that mistake.

The car seems pretty low in the front, and to high in the back. With the 17" RPF1's it looks even worse. I don't have any good pics of that yet, but you can see on the last pic that the rear is pretty high.

Have you looked at the advertised drop specs on the H&R website? Or part numbers?

The rear suspension is much more stroke limited than the front. So it would make sense that the rear is designed to sit higher. I believe most springs will drop the front slightly more than the rear.

take the wheels off and look at the springs... check for part numbers on them. Fronts should have "F" on them and rears should have "R" on them.

I had H&Rs, they sit lower in the front. Your car sits just like mine did.
