You are correct in your observation for the location of the springs. The sprint springs SHOULD be shorter than the stock springs. You will see this comparison when you remove the stock springs from the struts because when the springs are on the strut, they are compressed and the sprints may LOOK bigger, but you have to remove both for proper comparison.

You mean in this post here if so then you mis read. He plainly states "fat in front" as far as what your springs look like. My Intrax were much shorter than my old springs but not sure about sprints.

skinny springs in back and fat ones in front.
