Icon2 GR2 Struts with Megan Springs Please HELPP

Hi guys.I have gr2 oe struts and megan racing springs on my 1994 accord 2dr.I bought them last year.what bothers me is when mf installed them on my car front part fitted perfectly but sadly i can't say same thing for rears because springs didn't get tight with gr2 oe struts so rears sits on car weight.there is little space between spring and struts. which makes rear look not even and fronts look lower than rears.so my question is if i get coilovers can they remove the space between springs and struts in other world can i tight them up and make them lower??or should i just cut the the springs to make them more lower and make them look even??

I think you might have the springs switched around. I think

Hard to understand what you're talking about on the rear suspension. It doesn't matter how tight or loose the rear shock top hats are, the weight of the car ALWAYS sits on and compresses the springs. The top shock nut has no effect whatsoever on ride height.

If you have the front and rear springs switched around, then yes the front will be lower, but it will be SUPER low, like mad raked. It would be completely noticeable. Post a pic of your car and it will be readily apparent if you got the springs reversed or not.

Pics of the rear suspension with tire removed would help, too.
