Default SSC lowering spring question

I haven't started my install yet, but looking at the springs I received today from SSC, there are (2) bee hive type springs, and (2) regular coil springs... presumably one set for the front, and one for the back.

I ran out and looked under my car, and the springs for both front and back are bee hive type.

Any help? I was planning to start this tomorrow. Which go where?? I called SSC, but haven't been able to talk to anyone yet.

I had them installed on my Monte. The two "beehives" with the same sized circles on each end are for the front. The ones with one large opening and one small opening on each end are for the rear.

I was thinking the smaller bee hive springs would go in the back, and the thicker looking coils would be in the front. I took a quick picture of what I have... see if that makes sense.

Thanks! Common sense told me that the thicker springs support the engine weight, and you confirmed it.
