Swift Spec R advise needed

Can anyone advise me if my Swift Spec R springs are the correct ones for the MR.
On the box it says 4M017R and there is also a sticker on the rear springs saying
4M017RS but on the front springs the stickers say 4M008RS am i right in thinking that the fronts are GSR springs or are the GSR and MR front springs the same?

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Front: 4M008R
Rear: 4M017R

Fronts are the same GSR to MR, the rears are different.

Thanks for the information and quick reply.
I have one more question if you could answer it for me that is do i need to cut the bump stops on my Evo MR when fitting these springs?

p.s if the bump stops are already cut do you think i should fit new ones?

Anytime.

Yes, cut one notch off. I believe there are instructions in there that will show that also.

In the intructions there is no mention of cutting the bump stops for the Lancer Evo CT9A it only has Mitsubishi Lancer CS6A with a spring part number 4M903 that needs to be cut. Do you think i should cut the bump stops??

Its not needed for the Swifts, but really won't hurt anything if you cut them.
