Default Lowering Spring Problem

Okay guys, i have a set of eibach sportline lowering springs on one of my integras..well the back is lowered pretty good but the front is really high, like stock height if not, higher even. I was wondering do they need time to weaken and settle down, or are they just designed for the front to be higher than the rear?

Something is installed wrong. The first two things that pop to mind are that you might have the rear springs on the front and vice versa. Don't laugh, it happens more than you think and it results in a low butt and a high nose. Check the part numbers on the springs and then with the manufacturer's info to assure that they are not swapped end for end.

Second, if you have KONI shocks on the car, make sure that you don't have the removable front spring perches flipped upside down. The front perch should have the outer edge reach down like a bell and not up like a cup. The rear spring perches are meant to be up like a cup and is the only way that end can be done. This too is a surprisingly common mistakes.

Dollars to doughnuts, my bet is one of these two. Luckily both are pretty easy to identify and pretty easy to fix.

same ish happened to me except the nose was in the ground and the *** was higher than stock like a funny car. But we fixed it , the problem was the rear springs were on the front and vice versa and people swore that we had the wrong springs but thats all it was they were in the wrong place ,dont feel bad it happens .
