So, I installed H&R sports on my hatch a while back. The drop looked fine until now when I replaced my blown shocks with replaced KYB GR-2. The front is still low, it looks good but now the rear of the car is raised up higher than it used to be with the new shocks.... these are the non-adjustable KYB shocks. I'm stumped.. my ride hieght looks stock in the rear.. yet i have lowering springs.

 

well it could be because your old shocks were blown so they didnt fully extend all the way up. therefore making your car look lower.

 

well that i assumed but it's higher than i think it should be.....

 

now i'm not sure if this is your problem but i know that if i do suspension work on the back while leaving the handbrake on, after i lower the car the rear will look stock height like you're describing. As soon as I release the handbrake, the car lowers to it's normal height.

That happend to me once, I was like wtf

 

Take a pic and post it. We would be able to tell you pretty quick if it looks stock. Everytime I see stock suspension it looks like the car is actually raised up lol

 

hopefully you didn't put your springs on the wrong ends....

 

post pics, i have H&R sports but w/ Koni Yellows, and they are a lil higher in the back. Nothing major though, i'll post pics myself for you to compare if you want. But i'd like to see your drop....

 

yea i'll get a pic up
