Default Stock Springs

I just noticed that the stock springs have no markings as to which are front and which are back. Anyone know how to tell which from which by looking at em? Very interested b/c I think I may have mine in backwards.

Do they have any color marks on them? Most OEM springs, honda or otherwise, are color coded rather than number or word coded.

Just took a look under my car. The front ones are Blue, Yellow, Red and the rears are Blue, Orange, Red. Is this the right orientation for front/back?

Dayum. I was hoping they were backwards because currently my front sits higher than my rear.

it should level out once you take out those gold bricks in the trunk.

did you have shocks replaced recently or something?

No, I bought the car OCT 06 and it has been like that ever since. I thought about cheap alternatives to fixing my ride height problem. Seems like the only inexpensive way is to get a set of springs. Maybe swifts. Or maybe i'll just put some weights in my front end
