Re: JUST PUT IN LOWERING SPRINGS... BUT ITS NO LOWER??
did you move the car at all, after you installed the springs?? if you didnt, go for a drive up and down the driveway.. if not, idk whats wrong..
the front springs should be flat(er) side up and the regular, cut-off looking side down.. there is only one way to put the rear springs on.. big end up and small end down..

well yes the springs will settle a little bit but you car probably had stock springs that were sagging anyway so it might not make that big of a diffrence

When I installed my Eibach Prokits, my ride height actually increased a tad, because my springs were really sagging bad.

Stock springs are usually sagging and lower than stock, but I hear that it takes a month or so for the lowered spings to get to proper ride height...

Are you the only owner of the car? Maybe, a previous owner installed lowering springs.

Re: JUST PUT IN LOWERING SPRINGS... BUT ITS NO LOWER??
Found these on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FRONT...QQcmdZViewItem
Also, any dealership, if your desperate enough, can get them as well
And the springs should be lined up as such http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tarami...ad.jpg&.src=ph
