Default Skunk2 lowering springs raised the rear of my integ

I ordered a set of skunk2 lowering springs from OPtion and the fronts were good, slammed my ish well but when we put the rears on, it raised my car way up in the air like a f**kin funny car. I had never seen anything like this before I was wondering have anyone ever experienced this.

You put the rears in the front, and vice versa.

I have to check and see what we did cause I put the tallest ones in the rear and the shortest ones in front. I hope that they are not the wrong springs for the rear but I doubt it.

xD lol... Your weight is in the front, you put the bigger ones providing the most resistance where the weight is and they balance out. Ive never heard of anyone doing this xD. lol...

You must not read these forums very much...it's a common mistake. Pretty hilarious results.
