Default Stock Springs

I purchased a 96 Ex a few months ago that was lowered almost to the ground with some Max Speed springs. All four tires were worn to the wire on the inside edge. I do not like cars lowered this much and especially do not want to buy 4 tires every month, so I purchased some stock springs from a guy on ebay.

When I took off the Max Speed springs the longer ones were on the front. So I put the longer stock springs on the front. But now when I look at my car it looks as if the front is sitting too high.

Did I put these on backwards?

easyest wat to tell is the spring that is made out of the larger diameter steal (i.e. which one has the thicker rod) goes in front as it has to support the weight. i cant remeber if the taller ones go in front or in back

Taller should be in the back if I'm not mistaken for stock springs, but I haven't run them in a very very long time.
