Don't listen to this guy unless your del sol came with a b16 from factory aka Del Sol VTEC.

Then you either installed them wrong, you got the fake teins, you installed them wrong or you got the wrong spring rates.

no they are not side specific. That tends to happen. I dont know why but many people have been complaining about this issue. Mine is raked (front is lower than rear) but im using NEUSPEED sports

well i dont have any aftermarket springs in my hatch and it seems the front of my car is almost an inch higher than the rear,it is less noticable since i swapped in my b16 but still looks higher in the front,some aftermarket springs have a lower height for the front like 1.8 front,1.0 rear drop.maybe different springs will solve your problem.

Springs FTL imo... You can have custom rate coilovers for twice the price of those teins and they are adjustable.
