To my knowlegde......i've lowered both my cars and a few of my friends cars...everytime the shorter ones have been on the front and the longer ones are in the back......if u take a look at your stock springs I think the rears are larger and longer.....hope this helps

Yeah, you have them on backwards the shorter ones go up front and longer ones go in the rear. the way you have them is most definit wrong!!!!!

Well, GC ships out their OTS kits as front stiff/rear soft so find the stiffer springs and put them in front. Maybe I have a bad memory but I thought my Integra kit had the same size all around.

Though, I don't understand why you're bottoming out. Have the perches all the way down?
