Default RS*R spring problems ..

This is really directed at civic owners but anyone can answer... i have a 95 coupe and i just installed the 2" RS*R springs .. my drop is unequal ..the front ended up getting slammed ..looks like 2.5 ..tires tucked ..even rubs sometimes .. the rear has like an inch of wheelwell space.. and ontop of that ..i heard the suspension is great ..i used to have H&R ..my only problem was it wasnt low enough ..(1.8 and 1.6) .. these RS*R's are muchhh bouncier...anyone expirience this?

from my expierence with rsr springs, in only twice, they left an even 1 finger gap all the way around.... kinda looked weird at first rather then the tucked up front and higher in the back deal I am used to seeing.

My RSR down springs dropped my car 2" in the front and 1.2" in the rear...

From the specs on the springs, this is the correct drop. Did you get the blue or black springs?

i have gone to two sets of rs*r blue(down springs) and no problem...are your shocks blown? did you cut the bump stops in half? or put them back at all? did you line up the springs with the pirches and base of the shock?

btw with 195/50/15 i have 1/2 finger gap on all four wheels.
