sup guys! just installed the drop springs for my lady's 05 4dr. i used the Tein S-tech springs. my question is, why is does the rear sit lower than the front? i put the longer springs for the rear and shorter springs up front. i could fit 3 fingers up front but in the rear i could bearly fit 2 and probably half of my fingers. what do u guys think? i really need your opinion on this.

Mah friend has them on his 96...it should sit even...or with the front slightly lower than the back.

Yea I imagined them being a bit small for the wheel well

i checked and its faster the way i have it :-p

arent the wheel wells bigger in front for front wheel drives? i mean where you can see the wheels (fender -wells) thats probably why it looks like the rear is lower

Well from the Mod Ive to my car with the springs and even larger wheels
it's still larger in the rear

Maybe there's a reason for it? Why not keep it closer to the same for front wheel drive?

My $0.02!

More space in the front is beneficial to give the wheel more space to move around, more space to put components, etc. You don't want the extra empty space in the rear because it cuts into passenger and trunk volume.
