Default Tein H Tech Height Problem?

I installed my springs over the weekend and there is just NO way to put these in wrong BUT for some strange reason, the rear seems lower than the front by about a half inch. Something wrong with the springs I received or what could it be?
Anyone else with H Techs have this problem...HELP!

My H Techs were just the opposite, half inch lower in the front for some reason.

Are they new or used?

Before my S-Techs, I had the same issue when I first installed my H-Techs. The rear settled very quickly....like within a few hours. It had me worried. But over the course of the next few days, the front followed suit.

Give it some time and see what happens.

Well, if you are judging your concern on the amount of "wheel well gap" on the back compared to the front, then don't worry. Every car I can possibly think of has a higher fenedr line in the front for wheel turning/clearance issues. Also, if you go to the manufactures website they ussually list the specs somewhere on the page, and most of the time I've noticed that the rear is lower than the front buy about a half of an inch, most of the time. Also I have the S-Tech's. Hope this helps. :D

Official Tein spring specs:

H-Techs = 1.1-Front and 0.9-Rear

S-Techs = 1.7-Front and 1.5-Rear

I bought them "brand new" from a sponsor on this site...

To tell the honest truth, and without seeing the car in person, the drop looks real even, and good. When you go to get you alignment, which I hope you do, the shop can tell you the difference in ride height.

Dont worry , like everbody else stated you gonna have a little bit of a difference, but the front will settle lower. Here is pics of mine it's hard to tell a diference but the front sits just a bit higher then the rear does.
