Default MONSTER TRUCK REAR END WITH SPRINT SPRINGS!

anyone get this problem? i got sprint springs(1013) for my 05 civic coupe.
got everything professionally installed and aligned.

doesnt sit at exact height yet because it hasnt settled but the back side is like a ONE HAND GAP. its durastically larger than the front. i expect it to settle soon but why is the back like that?!?!?!?

also, i have new kyb gr-2 oem replacements for my shocks and struts.

HELP WOULD BE GREAT

I presume they know what they're doing and they have fitted them the right way round?

Sorry, but no automotive spring will settle 3" without severe weight additions. Like a Mack truck dump bed.

It sounds as if you've got the front and rear springs swapped.

but the front and rear can't be swapped because of different size. what i did before was ran my car in the bumpy road and it settled.

1) check part number to make sure you got Civic springs. If so...

2) Take it back to the place that installed them

Even if you got RSX springs you still shouldn't have a 3-4" gap. And not other spring will really fit on the rear of these cars properly. Hence, follow #2.
