Just finished installing Koni Reds ***HELP!***
Just finished replace my front two shocks with Koni Reds. After I set my car back on the ground it's back to STOCK hieght on the front!
Do shocks need time to settle? Did I do something wrong during the install?

the shocks wont settle much.. maybe another .1 of an inch. Your not gonna notice a huge difference with the prokit. Did you lower the back yet???

Do the Koni Reds have the same spring perch that the Yellows use? If so, you could have installed the perches upside down. My friend did that on his Civic, he couldn't figure out for the longest time why the front end of his car seemed to sit high. Then I looked at it and I was like dude, your spring perches are upside down! 
If you look at the perch from the side, it should look like this:

If it looks like this, it's upside down:

I doubt he will find much regarding his problem, the search function on this website is HORRIBLE!

HAHHHHA
I love when people post that thing. I bet it makes them feel special.
Why is it that whenever someone asks a questions, you don't just answer and you post a "DO A SEARCH"?
Searching helps, but who wants to read through 50 threads when they can have someone answer for them right away? If you want them to do a search, just don't relpy. Since no one is talking to them, they will search on their own.
That was one thing I found frustrating on this forum.
