Icon2 CRX suspension

I'm new to this site, so I apologize if this topic has been answered, or if I'm the wrong place etc. I recently bought some Tokico gas shocks for my crx as a replacement for the stock ones. I put some H&R springs on them which I bought used off CL. The drop in the front is decent, but in the back it's not that great. It could use another inch in the front and maybe two in the back. So my question is what can I buy to put on the Tokicos for a decent drop? I've had ebay coils before on another car, and the bouncing was hell. I know skunk2 works, but since the CRX is so light, I fear the drop in the rear won't change much. I'm looking to spend less than $200. Thanks.

Are you sure you didn't put the rear springs on the front and the fronts on the rear?

Positive. The rear Tokicos are longer than the front ones as well.

i dont think you used the right springs, and/or installed them correctly.

you also need to tighten the arms loaded, not up in the air.

and then take the parking brake off. (this one catches a lot of ppl with immediate freak out as to why the rear didnt level out)
