Bought cut pro-kits, I think I got played.
I bought eibach pro kits on Craigslist, and was told the front springs were cut for an extra .75" drop. Meaning it would be 1.75 in the front and 1.0 in the rear.
Well I recently installed my front springs, and the car is SLAMMED up front, I mean it is not drive able this way.
I am sitting at 24.5" from ground to fender lip on one side, and 25" on the other.
So I have two questions.
1: is there any way I could've screwed up the install, causing the front end to sit too low?
2: what would be the best way to bring the front end up another inch or so? Is there any adjustable coil spacers I could buy, so that I could level the front end out aswell as raise it another inch or so?

Grab an extra set of the rear spring isolators and install them on the front.... they are 2" thick, but I bet you are sitting on the bump stops.
another option would be to trim your stock springs a little at a time until you get the stance you want

Thank you for the replies, found out the car was un even because the isolator had slipped out on the one side, but I went to thicker ones anyways. Car now sits at 25 3/8th of an inch, definitely more street friendly this way!
