I just had koni sport shocks & H Tech springs installed. My car is now raked. I have four fingers clearance in the rear and one tight finger in the front. I have stock wheels and tires on car. My guess something done on the front to cause this but I do not know.

I'd be taking it back and get it checked out just to be sure. Not sure what the numbers are on the H-Techs but I recently had Koni and S-Techs installed and the drop is perfect IMO.

They are nice but do not know why rear end is up in the air. I am hoping someone hear has seen this. I bet your S Tech has more clearance in front than my H Tech springs. I wanted S Tech but chickened out and went with H Tech. I believe my set up will be very good.

I've got some updated pics in my sig after the install if you'd like to compare them.
Edit: Actually there's a link in that thread to my install pics....sorry.

Here's (http://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php?p=308468&postcount=5) what Omicron had to say about the two springs. Still haven't found any pics yet but still looking.

did you put the rear spring to the front and the front to the rear??

I did not install myself. I asked that question though. I was told that you can not screw it up but something is wrong. That is as good of a guess as any. I would think if they could be switched I would get an inch more in front and take away an inch in the rear. I will make some calls in the morning.

That sounds like the problem.

Springs were reversed. It is easy to do.

That's what I'm thinking.

BUT you don't measure the height that way.

One way:

Go from center of axel to wheel well.

Other way and prefered method:

Measure height from groond to bottom of chassis. Ground must be flat or use a flat car lift.

If the car height is equal using method 2, but still has a noticable gap between tire and well it's the result from the design of the car from the factory to make it look like that.

Check a stock RX8.
