The springs should be labeled. Look for "F" or "Front" and "R" or "Rear." If you can't find any prints on them, the bigger ones go to the front, and smaller ones the rear.

Just to clear this up for future readers - There was a F on the tein spring like stated, but the fronts were shorter then the rears by about a coil and a half

Thanks for the save, Bassy :)

No problem. I got my Tein H Tech installed incorrectly before. That's why I remember it. :)

Yeah I read that but it's confusing. Which ones go in front and back?

As clearly stated above "F" is for front, and "R" is for rear.

Even though I'm responding to an old message, that's because the Rx-8 is normally higher in the front than the rear. It's balancing the ride height.
Tein is 1.4" front 0.7" rear.


F is front and R is rear. If Tein made a "mistake" labeling the springs, then you probably got the rip-off springs from eBay.
