Springs backward?

Since I've put my lowering spring on I've noticed and he rear sits lower than Han to he front...by about an inch or more. You he front is lower than stock but whenever I jack the front end up the spring slides of the upper mount. Not sure what brand they are was told b&g. So is it possible I have rhe m switched around?
 


The smaller springs go up front, the ones with the tighter coil. The big coils go in the rear.

It's really hard to mess it up because the rear springs will never fit into the front strut mount correctly.

Sorry bout that, fat fingers have a hard time hitting small buttons. That's exactly how I have the springs tho, figure they couldn't be switched around. Just makes me wonder why its sliding off.
 


If you put the struts together yourself I'd go ever and check your work. Take it out and make sure you tighted the top mount down onto the strut enough.
 
I have the B&G's but never had an issue with them sliding off of the upper mount like your saying
 
Well the guy I bought from said b&g in the ad but when I went to get them he said eibach. They have no name on them bit all springs have front printed on them bit the two rear are scribbled out.
 
Tried to take some pics but can't really see anything, but red spring. Springs just say a number then front. From looking at it just now front feels like I'm riding the bump stop....looks like that's the reason its not as low and not staying settled?
 


about the easiest way to get an answer or possible insight is,,,
Jack one side of the car up so the front and rear tires are hanging,
then start snapping pics front and back of each tire pointed at the springs.

Someone will know or no doubt notice something.

With pictures we might turn it around from a crapshoot to a turkey shoot
 
Well I went out today and took them off...forgot to take pics in my excitement but seen I put the extra cup part, like for another vehicle, on it so took that off and cut the front bump stop down almost an inch. Now it sits pretty even and doesnt ride like ass.
