so i just put a set of k-sport lowering springs on my car and the front end wheel gap to the fender is huge and the rear end looks correct what could case this to happen. I have double checked the springs to ensure they were installled correctly the fronts are in the front and rear in the rear. I am using stock shocks/struts. Is this normal for accords? I am thinking of cutting a coil off the front springs as well.

Try swapping springs from ffront to rear....

The front/rear springs should not at all be interchangeable. The rear springs are much thicker/wider and the front ones are thinner. My suspension "settled" after awhile and the whole car got lower than the initial drop eventually.

that and these springs might not be matched? i.t. the spring rates are the same for front and rear as opposed to something like 475f/275r.....
the only reason i said to switch thwem, a friend of mine had a 99 eclipse and installed front/rear backwards. it looked cool though.

i have the thinner springs in the front and the wider thicker springs in the rear. It has been over a month and they still haven't settled. I am thinkin of cutting a coil off in the front should eliminate the gap. and not harm the ride since it is only one coil

check you upper ball joint arm where is hitting. I'm having the same problem. My left side sits right and my left side is higher. I noticed my upper ball joint arm is hitting the top part of the inner fender. Check your spring rate and check how your car goes down when you lower you jack. If anyone knows a resolution to my problem would be appreciated.
