Default **Spring help**

I replaced my stock springs with Intrax springs about a year ago. A couple of days ago I swapped my stock springs back. When I went to put them on my car I noticed that two of the springs were shorter. I wasn't sure if the shorter springs go in the front or the back. I put the shorter springs in the front but I am not sure if it is right. Does anybody know which side the shorter springs are supposed to go? My front bumper is 7 inches off of the ground now, but I have 18" rims with 225/40/18 tires. Is this normal? After I swapped the stock springs back I noticed that the front wheels have a bigger gap (from the fender to the wheel) then the back wheels do. Also, I was thinking about putting the Intrax springs on the front only. Would this cause any problems?

Shorter springs always go in rear. I'm afraid you have to do it all over again.

yeah, I think the short ones go in the back, the longer ones go in the front, i think b/c of the weight of the engine.
