Default Question about these coilovers

I bought these coilovers without doing much research. The box says they are for a Scion xB 1st gen. When I did research on xB coilovers, I noticed the back ones didn't look the same as others. Does anyone know anything about these coilovers? Is there anything that I need to make them work? Here is a pic.

The rear suspension of the xB is a different design than the fronts. The fronts have coil-over-strut, and the rears have the springs and struts separate. To me, it just looks like these are height adjustable coils with no added dampening and adjustment. But, I'm a tC guy, so what do I know.

The taller spring goes on your stock front struts and the shorter spring goes on in the rear spring location. What brand are those?

^I was going to mention the same. Kind of like the Ground Control sleeve-over kits that re-use your stock struts.

There is no brand name on the springs or box. I put the one rear in and the bottom coilover part wouldn't sit right and bolt on. Its hard to explain. I appreciate the help.

The rear coils dont look anything like any of the rear coilovers I have looked at. The bottom part of the rear coilovers (the part that you can adjust the height) doesn't sit on the suspension point like the teins I have looked at. I will try to take pics of what I am talking about.
