anyone drive an accord v6 with skunk2 coilovers?

Which springs go to the front and back?

Here are the spring rates....

(0.700.250.008)
(0.700.250.010)

I could be mistaken, but . . . .

700 = spring rate (700 lb/inch)
250 = spring diameter (2.5")
008/010 = spring free length (uncompressed, 8 & 10 inches)

You'd want the longer free length spring up front.

But 700 pounds per inch - that's crazy. How do you plan on damping those things?

and the 008/010 stands for the spring rates in kg/mm

8kg/mm~450lb/in
10kg/mm~550lb/in
SAMSONITE. . . . . I was way off. :) Thanks for clearing that up.

So you'd want the stiffer springs up front. And I'm still curious, how do you plan on damping them? That's still pretty stiff.
