Default Just bought an Eibach Pro Kit

and they don't look like the springs that I bought. Maybe they showed a different kit than I needed but I just wanted to make sure before I start doing my suspension. The ones that it showed seemed to get MUCH smaller toward the end of the springs and these are pretty symmetrical. Here's the picture, it's for a '02 v6 coupe

The kit also came with a new Pinion Snubber, is that a worthless part or should I go ahead and install it?

Btw, which ones are the fronts and which are the rears? I guess i'll be able to tell once I get the old ones off, huh?

They look like the pro kit to me. I have that kit on my GT.

Thanks for the conformation. What should I do with the pinion snubber, I've never heard of people installing it before?

Install it. It should replace the old one which IIRC is over the rear diferential. The old rubber one is probably due for a change.

ooh and the front springs are the ones that look denser and have larger diameter springs. In the pic you posted the rears are the center two the ones on the outside are the fronts. AM has a decent tutorial on how to install them.

You'll wanna put the new pinion snubber in. It's shorter to compensate for the lower stance given by the new springs.

Not sure how the different Eibachs look, but are you sure the pic on the site you ordered form was an accurate photo of the springs? Could possibly have just been a generic pic.
