Default l-tuned susp install question

hello everybody- just finished putting on l-tuned shocks and springs (the first time i've ever messed with susp stuff)- the fronts look good, they definitely look lower, but the backs don't look much different- could i have messed something up?? it almost looks like the rear end is a little jacked up. when i got the boxes from sewell lexus, the springs didn't come with any info or instructions- the springs have the markings 00644-48130-GSR and 00644-48130-GSF. i assumed the -GSR were the rears and the -GSF are the fronts, correct? sorry i don't have pics, my digital camera is messed up- i looked thru the old threads but couldn't find the answers- any help appreciated, thanks

it should look different from the way i'm describing how mine looks (or different as in the l-tuned normally looks a little lower in the front than back)

i thought about that, but i guess i'm being paranoid about driving it if something is wrong- like if i somehow put the rear springs on front and the front springs on the rear- thats why i was asking about the part numbers on the springs- thanks

is there any way that the front and rear springs can be put on reversed or would the wrong springs not even fit on the shocks?

I just did the swap myself over the weekend. There is no way you can accidentaly put front springs on the back. In my case it was the same thing -- the front looked lower but the rear did not. The headlights pointed into the ground. It settled in a day or so, looks great now.
