The weight from the motor should settle the front down eventually.

getter better springs, you get what you pay for.

save up for true coil overs, or the GC/koni combo.

They are like that, one of the mods on Vancouver Prelude Club got this setup, and the rear does look like its sagging, and the the front is not lowered at all...

wait a few weeks for them to settle.

or swap em around, front to back, assuming that they're the same length.

Uh, front and rear springs are different including all aftermarket springs, no assuming needed.


If they have not settled to your satisfaction by now than just go with a different brand.
