Need Some advice w/ Sportlines !!!

I posted a thread a little while back about getting a set of used Eibach sportline lowering springs for my 07 2.2 Balt. I have pictures of them and I need to know what are the front ones and the rear springs. I do not have the directions so I dont know if I should cut the bump stops.

I know I will need an alignment afterwards.

here are the picks
let me know if you have any ideas or anything that will help me.
I never did a spring lowering job yet.

The ones on the left are the rears, and the right are the fronts

Do I put them in so the sportline is legible?
Should I keep the bump stops stock?
And how long is the install for an average joe like myself with all the tools and a basic garage w/ floor jack and jack stands. Thanks

Yes, install them with the words facing up the right way.

You are supposed to cut down the bump stops, I can't remember exactly how much. I think it was like 1.25" for the front and 1" for the back?? Don't quote me on that, I can't remember for sure. If someone else has them with the instructions they can tell you.

It took me about 3 hours for all fours with hand tools, jackstands.

Its not that hard.. i just did my 2.2 a couple of weeks ago and it wasnt that bad. Make sure u either get a spring compressor or have somewhere to take it to get the springs off the front struts.
