rite ok hazard a guess i'd say they are the front ones as the extra height will compensate for the weight of the engine so it should ride level once settled. be careful when you remove the two bolts on the bottom of your dampers course one is the camber think its the top one of the two but the rears don't have the camber bolts, also be careful of the clip! for the brake lines as these can snap as they are only thin bits of metal. hope i'v been of some help and good luck with the new dampers, can you let us know how they ride as i need two rear ones as mine are completly shot.
