If you bought the springs new, you shouldn't have a problem.

Can you guys confirm if my front springs are on backwards or not ??


The fronts still have about an inch of wheel gap. And ive seen people with tanabes who are alot lower in the front.

did you preload the upper a-arm bushings when you put the car back together and on the ground?

Did those people that are lower have Koni struts?

Did you try looking for the numbers on the spring to see if there is a F or R?

well at first .. they didnt do it at the shop. But one of the members helped me out and did it for me during a huge meet a few weeks ago. The difference in height for the front was huge after the preload.

Here is how it sits now. You cant really notice but the front sits like an inch higher.

I think it might be cause im running camber in my rears Does camber affect wheel gap/ride height ??
