Default Need S Tech help. probably fast

I installed my Stechs on my Illuminas, in a 2000 EX.

I put the shorter springs in front and the taller in back, but theres a 5 inch gap in the back and it covers an inch of the front tires.

Did I put my springs on wrong?

probably so then. is there any #'s on the springs? if so, the higher # goes up front. my coilovers, the springs were taller up front. if you said there is a 5" gap, something is wrong.

sounds like you did put them on wrong. check the numbers again and tell us what the spring rating is for the springs. the higher numbers go in the front like jhsplaya said.

are you sure they are real Teins, and did they come with directions?

I ordered them from Procivic.com, they came with the same instructions Tein has on their website, which is a bunch of cautions, and some info on bumpstops.

I couldnt get ahold of procivic, since it was saturday, so I searched the internet, where I found a few DIY's that said put the taller springs in back. so I did, and messed up.
