First problem is that you need to press the cap lock off on your computer. This is in direct violation of TOS.

Secondly take the car to a competent mechanic who knows what they are doing. This guy doesn't sound competent at all. Look like he put the front springs in the rear and rear in the front. Also sounds like he left out that tapered washer that's suppose to go between the shock and the rubber bump stop. That is what's causing the front to be "tucked" inside the fender well. Tell him to put your stock springs back on and take it to a more competent mechanic who knows what they are doing.

bottom of page shows spring rates.

the difference in rates would cause the NEW ride height

yup sounds like front springs are on the rear and rears are on the front. Another thing is that the integra springs wont drop your civic much because tegs weigh more so you wont get the same drop as a teg would.

ok thanks guys i think i'm gonna try and do it my self tommorrow just switch them around.... but i'm scared that he mixed them up like one bak in the front and one front in the bak cause left rear is higer than right rear ... and how can i tell the diff in front and rear ??????????

civictildeath

look and see which of each wheel is at which height. the front lowest one should probably be on back and the rear highest one should be on front. so switch those 2 and see how it looks. if still off, switch other two

take the all off
and redo it

The front springs are longer than the rears when uncompressed.

the rear coils are thinner and closer together to each other, and the fronts are thicker and the coils are farther apart
