Can anyone help please... how do i know whether or not i installed ot correctly, which are the fronts and the back??? is it seated correctly... Plz help a fellow 2IS owner, thanks in advance...

sound like a bad install. if i remember correctly, the front coils are shorter than the rear coils. i have h-techs on my car and the rear is even. in the front, the passenger side is about 2-4mm higher than the driver side depending on the surface...

R you sure you install it correctly? check the spring from your pass. side. You might switch it around....

I bought the springs from horsepowerfreaks.com its a pretty reputable website... all the shops that i went to said they were installed correctly and the only other option that they told me is maybe its the springs itself...

I think u should take the springs on the pass. side out and compare the front and the rear.
