Just a wild guess here. But if the white text prints on the blue coils mean spring rates, then the higher stiff rate should usually be in the front.

So, 12/2002 front, 11/2002.

Just a wild guess.

And also, by how long the screws on the RIGHT pair, I say those should go in the rear. And the ones on the left should go in the front.

It looks as if the two on right are for rear. To make sure look at the hole at the bottom of the coilovers. The rear has a bigger hole on one side and a smaller hole on the other. And the fronts have a same size hole on both sides. The hole that you insert into the bolt. Hope you get what im trying to say.

What they said ⬆

Bilstein numbering system is user friendly.
For example, if the coilovers were left and right specific the numbers would look like below
6668 - Front Left
6669 - Front Right
6670 - Rear Left
6671 - Rear Right

Since you have 2 of each -
6669 - Front
6670 - Rear

fronts are the first 2, rears are the latter. those kinda look like they use the OEM strut mounts too.

It's too bad Bilstien does not make shocks for our LS's. Let's us know how she rides with your coilovers.

That's a coilover kit correct? I'm talking something comparable to the KYB's that can be used with stock springs.
