Eibach Spring question (how to tell back from front ?)

[MARKPRIOR]

so i have got my car back, and the front is quite a bit lower than i expected, and the rear higher.

i thought Thicker springs at the front and skinny at the back, can anyone confirm this ? it appears the reverse on my car pics below

Good Morning,

It wasn’t myself you spoke to but are you trying to work out front and rear?

Front springs part number will end in VA and Rear springs will end in HA

The writing should be the right way up when installing.

On the left is the front and on the right is the back spring. The springs fits only one way. You cannot interchange the springs. They used the springs for the F06?

thanks havy, im just a bit worried why the rear is sitting so high and the back so low

the kit is 25mm front lowering & 20mm at the rear, but i would say the front has gone down considerably more

[Havy]

That is the reason why I ask about the right springs. The F06 is heavier than a F12/13. Could it be that they used the wrong springs? Axle load ?

From experience the eibach kits do lower the front more noticeably than the rear. They say 20mm rear, but I've always found it to be more like 15 mm or less. The rear also has less weight, so will take a bit longer to settle.

Yours looks OK to me.

This is what i expected in GC form, this guy has the same springs

Front looks good mark but think you're right about the rear being too high. Doesn't look right. I assume you got maxton design on speed dial now?...

while i think they could have simply used (Front) & (Rear) as a marker lol, the team were very helpful and quick to respond, always a good sign
