Default Huge Suspension Problem, Need urgent help please

whats up, i got some suspension in the mail today for my '91 crx Hf. Kyb Agx's and H&R sports, stayed after work today to install the stuff, no problem, took a few hours but everything was fine, took it off the lift and wtf!! it looked the same! actually maybe 1/2" at the most lower in the front but HIGHER in the rear!!wtf? i was pissed i don't know what the hell is going on. I know the springs are put in there correctly marked places (F marks on springs for front and R for rear) BUT..... the springs marked F i remember were shorter and the ones marked R were talled which did'nt make sense to me but i trusted H&Rs directions now i'm left with this. the box they came in also has a sticker that says integra on them? i called where i bought it from on ebay and they said they've been getting calls like this all day (wtf?), they just tell customers to reverse the springs. would integra springs on my rex really make if taller if theyr'e supposed to lower a teg almost 2"? or would you take they're advice and put the taller springs in the front and shorter ones marked F in the rear?

thanx

Yeah, if you paid by paypal, get your money back.. Either way actually. It's not gonna do you any good, the integra springs are quite a bit longer than CRX springs.

Integra springs are taller like he already said. Nothing you can do short of cutting them, which defeats the purpose. Get your money back. Reversing them will just raise the front, and barely lower the rear.

hmm, this is where i'm lost now, i called the place today, he told me H&R does'nt make separate springs for the civic/crx/ or integra, they all use the same springs and they all get the integra spring rate, i said well how are these springs supposed to hold up to the advertised 1.8" drop on a rex if they state the same for a heavier teg with the same springs?? makes no sense to me. ANyone out there with H&R sports that have problems with there springs or them not lowering the car. how bad would it be if i cut them with a hacksaw so not to heat them up if reversing does'nt work
