RS*R race springs

Has anyone else taken these out of the box and noticed that the two springs they have labeled 'R' (assuming they mean rear) and the other two springs they have labeled 'F' (assuming they mean front) would only fit the opposing shocks? As in, they springs that are labeled rear would certainly only fit the front shocks and vice versa. Perhaps someone put the stickers on the wrong springs. Either way, they are going on this mother.

Maybe you got springs for another make/model vehicle?

No, the part numbers match up. That's the first thing I checked. I emailed RS*R but haven't heard back yet.

if they are traditional style springs.. you can't swap them... if they are those long style springs.. you will need shocks/struts that will fit them

These are what I have, they look like they should work. I didn't see that 2 were larger in diameter (not by much) until I pulled them apart from each other. I have heard of people running these with AGX's and otherwise stock design struts, it just threw me for a loop when I first looked at them. Someone must have labeled them wrong, because the ones on the left in my pic are only going to fit on the front struts yet are labeled 'R'. The ones on the right are labeled 'F'. I only assume that means rear and front respectively.

Just as I thought, the springs were for a 350Z, they sent me the wrong springs.
