Default think someone switched the springs around...

ok so i noticed on my civic the other day that it has struts and springs, front is lowered quite a bit back is raised higher than stock, they both say eibach on them and the back is progessive, is there any way the P.O switched them around on accident? would they still fit?

something like that I haven't used a separate spring/shock combo on any of my cars just full body coilovers. I'm sure somebody can confirm iirc the rears are shorter.

yes if i jack the car up all the way the front spings can move about a 1/4in up and down and are not tight, rear suspension is stiff as hell and with a 205/50/15 tire i have about 3-4inches of wheels gap. and the backs are a lot taller and progressive.

Good change they are messed up then swap them around and see, it's a pita but at least you won't blow your fronts from the spring being too short thus causing the shock to bottom out all the time.
