Default Stock Springs. Which is front? (pic)

I am putting the stock springs back on my car and dont know which is front and rear. I didnt change them originally, I bought the car with coilovers already installed and the seller gave me the original springs. Roads are too damn rough around here and the car is beating me to death. I was figuring the ones on the left with the closer coils were the front ones, but want to be sure.

i also have a 2000 civic se, as far as i can remember, the wider smaller ones go on the back, and the taller skinner ones go on the front..i reamber this because when i got my new springs installed , its sopposed to be lower in the front then the back, and i remember thinking how the front srpings were taller and its sopposed to be lower...i may be wrong..but im sure thats what i reamber, i went to look at my springs on my car and the backs are wider for sure

the ones that are tighter wound go on the front because they are stiffer, and have to hold up an engine.
