Default H&R sports + Koni yellow = way too low

The front is way way too low for me. I dont understand why it would even drop it this much. I have it on the highest perch of the two, so thats not the reason.



The rear turned out fine, I put it on the higher of the three perches and I have about a two finger gap.

What reasons would make it drop way over the 1.75" drop the h&r sports are suppose to give it?

Anyone?

Yes. My car has been lowered for the last 3 years. I was just replacing out my old bec-techs.

My only thoughts are possibly switching out the front springs for some eibach pro-kits.

Not sure, do the konis for the 5th gens have the metal spring holder(bad description), what the spring sits on? Sort of like a bowl. Possible that you have that flipped over? I remember an issue like this on my 4th gen.

Yes it does sit in a "bowl", but from the looks of it, it wouldnt matter which way the bowl was.

that doensn't make sense gaccord...when i just had the sport springs i had a perfect drop. completely even. then i installed the koni yellows and the front stayed the same, but the rear was wayy to low. so i took apart the rears and raised the perch and now its perfect. i think you installed your springs upsidedown, that **** happens. make sure on the front springs, the writing on the spring is upsidedown. thats how it should be.

how? first off you need a better pic second i have hr sports THATS HOW LOW THEY SIT if your car is sitting lower than the pic of my car you installed it wrong, if they are sitting the same then your opinion of too low and mine differ and you need springs that sit higher.
