      dont worry, they are dropzone.

      they will settle, then eventually fail, lowering your car more, and provide you with the ************iest ride possible.

                My best guess is that you put the front springs on the back Check and make sure the fronts are not on the back. This is a common problem. If you do install this wrong you will know because the front will be slammed!

                  i know i did it right because the springs are marked R for rear and F for front so idk time for a new setup, i wanna get a coilover setup for like $350 but cant find any deals anywhere

                    $350 isn't much unless your looking to buy used. If you cheap out on your struts I would suggest a lowering spring with a mild spring rate rather than coilovers which typically have a higher rate. You already made the mistake of buying cheap once maybe save up and do it right! Good Luck

                        Ebay..... i bought mine over there :D just make sure that the top comes with metal and u get bump absorvers.... that way when u hitting the bumps in the road you wont be jumping with the whole car like if the car wanted to take a big jump and fly.... my suspension is from ebay, same one as im telling you and my car is loooow and rides smooth and nice as ****k so it is worth it... :) its not some professional ultimatum suspension but it gets the job done. :) at least temporary until u could get skunk2 or something

                            did you get them for an EF? Cause i know if they were for an EG, which weights more, the car will not drop because of the spring rates...
