That sheezy be Flint Mica y0! It aint gray playa! Da dr0p on da bak beez lower den da front on dis springz, dependen on how wierd itz be lo0king, i'd cruise up to da place that installed dem shiz fo ya and holla at dem fo it.

If you got a pic of your drop, it'll be alot more helpful. Does the back look lower by just standing back and looking at it, or did you measure the wheel gap between the front and back?

I'm in fairfax station/bruke area.... I dropped mine on the 17th and so far so good, if you want we can check it out (boyfriend, myself and his best friend) Did you drop it yourself, or have it done? How did you compress your springs if you did it yourslef (just for my own knowledge) ... feel free to PM me or IM me which ever. If you think that its an error in the way you put it in, we can help you fix it.

My names Mel btw, we're only about 15 min away from your area, down the parkway and then 123, so its not a totaly waste of a drive.

if he did nething wrong with compressing the springs or wutever, they wouldn't fit back in rite....the strut wouldn't mount at all

you'd know if u compressed, or mounted things wrong, cuz it wouldn't go back in

I wasnt saying that he compressed them wrong, pardon my wording, but I did say, just because I wanted to know how he did it, i.e. what he used.... I did actually help lower my car you know....

Well if you didn't index the front springs correctly it would cause the front to sit higher than the rear. You would probably have to mess up both sides for the front to be dramatically higher. They can be remounted with the springs indexed wrong. All that happens is the end of the spring is not in the lower indent on the strut. Thus making it sit about 1/2" higher.
