I would do that becaus eI noticed the fron springs have more coils since they bare the wieght of the engine and by putting them on the rear it would be stiffer, Yes ?

just delete your own messages. there's a little icon above each of your messages that represents a little note pad (edit/delete post) click it then check the delete box then edit post and you're done.

*there see I just edited my post with it*
and no you can't put front springs in the back or vice versa. The struts are different too.

Why would you want to use front springs on the rear anyways?
