Lowering springs help

[GTI-R Kid]

Need a little help with fitting a set of lowering springs. Long story short, I got these some time ago secondhand. Was going to fit them yesterday, but when I pulled them out I realised I didn't know which were for the front and which were for the rear. I think they're Cobra or PI springs but there are no markings on them.

Only differences I could see was that the pair on the left were about 20mm shorter when they were put standing side by side. Also noticed that the pair on the left have some tighter wound coils on them.

Can anyone tell me which pair is for the front and which is for the rear? Also, are the tighter coils supposed to be at the top or bottom? Any help much appreciated.

The shorter springs are for the front, as I've just picked up my new shocks and that's how mine are.
