Did you buy them new? Or did you buy them from someone? I would suggest you calling neuspeed to see......atleast email them. They'll be able to help you way quicker than we can.

i called neuspeed they said these are the springs for them. but it lowers the car like 4 inches instead of the 1.75 and 1.5 inches. they said if cut the bump stops it would cause it to lower the car to the 4 inches that not posible.

you've tried the springs on your car? they lower it 4 inches? wow. i cut my bumpstops in half for my neuspeed sports and they were right where they're supposed to be.

you try putting all 4 corners on springs? maybe you put the springs on backwards so end was real low and the other real high.

in case you haven't distinguished between front and rear:

the fronts should be short and should have equal spacing between all the coils. the rears are longer and have large spaces in the coils at one end and small spaces in the coils at the other end.

I don't get it - so you haven't installed the springs yet?

If you're just measuring the springs with stock side by side (off the car) there's no way you can tell accurately.

Neuspeed does change product numbers from time to time just like anybody else but you talked directly with Neuspeed DIRECTLY right? and Neuspeed said it would fit?

I'm also not seeing this 4 inches thing. The chassis would be on the ground with a 4" drop. The springs would have to be ridiculously short or incredibly soft.
