Default Springs are off in the front???

Hey everybody...I installed Suspension Techniques lowering springs on my 92 si today and the back sits almost to the tire then the front sits like two almost three inches from the tire????? I was spoofed... please tell me what went wrong? The fronts were definatly labeled also but I am thinking the front sticker was on the backs or something...

lol I had coilovers on the front and it was too bouncy and plus the driver side was like way sensitive then the passenger side... so I decided to throw the front lowering springs on ( the backs were on w/ the coilovers) because the back was real low and rode good... but now its like at stock height!!! Weird...

are they new springs? If they are new, the springs need some time to settle and then they will lower

install the 2 shorter springs in the front, and the 2 longer springs in the back .. this should solve your problem.
