Default !!!HELP!!! suspension on prelude.

I have 99 Prelude. I used to have Neuspeed sport springs, but I put a stock ones back on since i didn't wanna waste money on camber kit. anyways.
After installing the factory springs back on, my prelude sits different than before.
here's the pic (NOT my prelude, sorry naujcdl, I had to use ur pic w/o permission for better explanation)

stock: the front and real gaps between tires and fenders are fairly same
with neuspeed: gaps were about to be 1.5 inch for front and rear.
after putting back stock springs: now front gap is about to be same as it was lowered, but the rear gap is alot bigger than stock.
so now my lude looks funny with front sits low and rear sits really high
my shocks gone bad? i have no idea...
what u guys think???

sounds like you put the rear springs in the front, and fronts in the rear or something?

i had 35k miles on stock springs when I installed neuspeed springs.
after I put back stock springs, It ran about 3000 miles.
so stock spring was used about 38k miles total. they don't go bad with 38k miles?
do they?
or u guys think i could mess it up during installations? would they go bad if I
compressed them too much during installations?

help me guys....

Never heard of springs going 'bad' after being compressed, and 38k miles is absolutely nothing.

I'm not sure what else it could be to be honest
