Default DMS length

first off i wanna wish everyone a happy holiday.

now here is my question. I bought a set of DMS spring back in november. I went to go install them yestureday and when i have them next to my old springs, they look a little tall. The fronts are 13" uncompressed and off the strut. Anyone know if this is the correct length? I already installed the rears and the rear sits at about 27 1/4 to 27 3/4. Is this the correct ride height for the rear with these springs? I just dont want to go thru all the work of install the fronts to realize they are not the right ones.
