Default Stock Suspension -- Which one is Front/Rear ??
Hi, I'm putting the car back to stock this weekend and wondering which piece is the front which piece is the rear for factory SHOCKS & SPRINGS

I labeled below in the photo.

I assume the shorter springs with less coils are FRONT, and longer springs with more coils are REAR ??

For shocks, longer/thinner ones are REAR and shorter/stubbier ones are FRONT ??

Please advise!

Yes, shorter assembly is for the front, longer for the rear. You have them labeled correctly in the picture. Also, the shocks for the front are side specific, shocks should have an L or R to identify proper side. On the rear I think the shocks are not side specific.
