Awesome thanks. The longest one has the bigger arch to it, does that sound right? It's only longer by about 2 inches

Cheers :)

Longest for the rear.

Its also worth Putting both front springs next to each other and if
One has slightly more curve put that one on the driver
Side. And the same for the rear.

Sjs generally lean to the drivers side so putting the
More curved of a pair can reduce this.
