    springs

    Is there anyway of telling the difference between the front and rear springs off a Manta/Sportwagon/Sedan just by looking at them? I should add, that these are in a pile, off the car.

    sit on em.

    Are there obviously two different types? Then grab one of each, put them side by side and sit on them both at the same time. The stiffer one goes in the front.

    Get someone to take a picture too, we'd all love to see it.

    The rear springs are progressive. The wire diameter is much smaller at both ends than in the center.
    The front springs are linear with a constant wire diameter.
