Default skunk2 suspension on 95 civic coupe question?

So i bought a set of the skunk2 struts a few weeks back to replace my tokico blues and after i changed them all and set the car back on the ground the front set higher then before. The springs and tokicos were pulled off my integra a year ago and put on this car and it set fine at the time. I went over everything and preloaded the suspension when tightening everything. so any ideas or is this how its supposed to sit?

heres a picture:


does anyone else have pics of this setup on the same car? or any ideas?

if he did that, the front would be slammed and the back lifted.

What suspension do you have other then skunk2 shocks? coilovers? springs?

Maybe you mixed up the front and rear springs.

I know this problem ocurss with the regular set of eibach. however if you do get the eibach sport line springs the car will sit perfectly fine just like the back(of the current picture shows) all around it. dont get me wrong skunk2 does some great things, it looks like you rpobably got the wrong set up or maybe you dont have the proper shocks/coilovers to go with it. Ive seen lots of coupe's just like yours(and mine :D) sitting on the eibach sport line set up(with stock shocks) and it looks fine.
