Lower spring, which one goes front and which ones goes to rear
I just bought a KYB NR-2 strut and spring set. The front was suppose to be -2.75 and the rear was -2.5. Installed the front but on the rear, it was very high, almost higher than stock. I think I got the springs switched. The ones I put on the front was shorter, fatter, have a low sequence of loops and a high sequence of loops. The ones on the rear are taller, skinnier, and have one uniform sequence of loops. Anyone here got any ideas?

um...from past experiences with lowering springs, none being from an EG...the fatter one went in the back, so you probably put them in backwards, which if that is the case... 
to you, i dont know anyone thats been able to get them to fit backwards

i always thought the fatter went in the front due to the increased weight of the front of the car

Re: (IslandSi)
yea you have them backward cuz my cuz did my suspension for me n he had them backward and the car got higher in the rear. On the springs I bought (Eibach sportsline) they had a F and a R after the part number painted on the springs.

I remember as they both have F's, Fatter - Front.
The slimmer ones go in the rear.
Though this was said alread, hopefully that's a nice tip to remember it.
