are the tires the same size? did you have fat people in the back seat when you looked at the car to judge the height?

I'm halfway serious with those questions.

Is it possible you could have put the rear springs on the front?

Most lowering springs are made to where the front sits lower than the rear, so if you reversed them, there you go.

its possible that they were made like that...my sprint springs are 2.50F & 2.25R drop but yet the rear is lower than the front so thats why i added coilover perches to raise the rear...!!!

i think its because you have to buy the hole package. not just the spring. you have to have their shocks and struts too, to make them even or to adjust.. so you can't buy different setups, you must buy the complete package maybe.....

EF Hatches can be decieving since the rear wheel well is not as tall on the body line as the front fender opening. Park on flat ground and measure to the jack point you might be surprised.
