Default 2004 stock springs all mixed up (pic inside)

I thought the stock springs were all the same when I put my Skunk2s on.

Now that I am going back to stock, I see that there are 2 sets of color codes on the stock springs. Blue, Yellow, Pink and Blue, Orange, Pink. The orange looks 1/8 of a coil longer.

I tried to search but no firm answers. Anyone have any idea which ones go to which side?

I believe the shorter springs go in the front and the longer springs go in the back. Stock s2000's have a somewhat noticable front rake which is mostly due to the size/length difference of the springs.

i think it's the other way around... if you've seen s2000 coilovers, the rear shock is shorter than the front... but i think we should probably wait for someone to confirm the color codes lol

is this color code in the service manual? maybe a parts manual? i did a quick scan through the service manual at the dealership for 04 honda while they werent looking and it didn't say anything about the colors in the removal or replacement section.
