Default help please just put skunk2 springs in

ya i put my spring in and noticed by shocks (stock) didnt seem right to squishy. now all for corners are different the back is about 1/4 to 1/2 in lower then front. i know the back shocks are blown. will this affect hieght differences. if i get new shocks will it even it all out? help please. this was my first time lowering a car and did it myself. i know everything is in right just wondering if shocks half anything to do with it. thanks

did you put the springs in the right corner? Meaning did you put one of the front springs in the back or vice versa by accident? Not being a dick, i have seen it done before

everything is right i double checked that. i could tell cause the fronts were flat on top. and theres not enough wait in the back to drop it thet much. thanks though for the response. btw it handles better than before with these springs on. cant wait to get new struts. hope thats the problem.

I had a rear blown shock with lowering springs before on my integra and did not notice any height difference when the car was parked but felt the difference when the car is bouncing. I was also worried back then if something will happen to the springs or it'll hurt my car from the blown shock so I went ahead and replaced the shocks. I also change my car's suspension myself. Keep in mind that civic's wheel wells are designed that the front wheel well is higher that the rear giving the back lowered look and most ek/ej driver side is lower than the passenger side giving the uneven look (from my experience from changing my car's suspension). hope this helps.
