rear springs on front?
so i have this EG6, and its crushed in the front. like inner fenders rubbing on 205/45ZR16's.
now, the question is... i have a set of Tein S-Techs on all 4 corners with AGX's. i also have a set of skunk2 springs NIB. now my question is: can i put the rear S-Techs on the front, and the rear skunk2's on the rear? i need to bring the front up a bit, and am wondering of any rear spring sare too soft or if it will work.

the car bottoms out with the front springs on the car lol. i cant afford decent coilovers, and really dont want ebay coilovers, so i need a remedy for this situation QUICKLY. it seems like if these springs are 2" lower than stock, if i had stock integra springs on the front(because of the b-swap weight), i would be at my desired drop. make sense?
heres a few pics to give you an idea

No, something is seriously wrong there. You must have gotten the wrong springs or something.
80lbs worth of extra drivetrain weight isn't going to cause the front to sit anywhere near that low.

Tein s-techs does not drop civic's that low. I've seen plenty of civic's with s-techs and they all have at least a 2 finger gap all around. Could be 3 problems, 1. you installed them wrong, 2. there the wrong application, and 3. they might be the fake s-techs.

ok, well heres some more info:
1: they arent s-techs on the front anymore, they are now evotion(-2") springs. i got them from my neighbor for $100 NIB, figured it was worth a try. swapped the s-techs already, and the skunk2 springs are still sealed, because i cant return them if box is opened. anyway, the -2" evotion springs arent any lower/higher than the tein springs that were on it before. the evotion box was sealed, and stamped for 1992-1995 civic 2/3 door
2: the shorter pair is on the front, so unless i did that wrong...?
3: the car has GR-2's on it, not AGX's like i previously stated(while drunk, sorry),and there isnt any oil or dirty stuff or other "blown out" signs on them yet(<1K mi old, reciept dated 8/29, bought car 9-17)
4: the tein springs ARE stamped, and do have the proper brown rubber boot things, and came on the car with a genuine mugen rear c-pillar bar, so im gonna go out on a limb and say they are real. again, i could be wrong...
anyway, i just paid $70 for some used 1998 integra OEM front springs/struts, and took them off the car myself. they are going on sunday, so the car better be a 4x4 when im done so i have a solid baseline. im terriffied its gonna still be low and something else is out of whack.
please someone give me some good news lol

the integra oem springs/struts should do the job.
