Lowering ??? 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.

Fronts are the tighter wound smaller ones. Rears are the bigger ones.

i just cut the bump stops in half with a razor (they need to be cut)
yes you should get an aliegnment just in case
get ready to have fun putting them on, ive done 2 cobalts and im about to do a third here soon... if possible, get an air impact gun... it will cut your time in half
