Question New springs installation: Possible mixed-up

I just got Espelirs springs installed today. I like the way it lowered, only problem is the wheel gap seems to be bigger in front than in the rear. Is it possible to install the rear springs in the front? Is there anyway to tell without taking them apart ?

Try to see if you can see the springs, the intended fronts should have more coils than the rears.

should be even for the v8 (my friend has them on his) on kyb's.
i think on my I6 when installed, the fronts were 1-2 fingers higher, on bilstein hd's.
