Default Lowering Spring question

Ok I have an extremely stupid question but it is something I have never come across before.

I am just replacing my Vogtland Supra TT springs on my SC they were a 1.2" drop and i need to go a touch lower so I ordered a set of Supra TT sprint lowering springs a 1.8" drop.

I recieved the sprints and two coils look identical to the vogtlands and two coils are skinnier and taller. All the vogtland springs were the same size and pretty much the same make. Two of the sprint springs are basically the same height as the vogtlands and two springs are about 1/2" taller. There are no markings on the spring designating front rear left or right.Nothing.No special instructions either. I am also curious as to how they are going to be more of a drop when they are the same size and bigger than the vogtlands

I assume the taller spring goes in the rear of the car and the shorter springs go in the front correct?

I'm looking into these springs, how do they ride? What kind of shocks are you using?
