Installed springs but still stock height

I installed my lowering springs, but after i lowered it down, its still the stock height. I have only done the rears so far, but its still the same height maybe even a little higher. Did I install the fronts on the rears by chance?

Try driving it around the block and see if they settle a little more. What type of springs and how much is it supposed to lower it?

I've never heard of them and I couldn't find anything about them after a quick stop at Google...

I mean you could see if they settle a bit, or try to see if you installed the fronts and rears in the correct places, but I guess that's what happens when you get no-name ebay parts.


Either that or your stock springs were totally shot. How many miles do you have on the car? And what did the stockers look like when sitting next to the drop springs in terms of height?

So did you search, read, and preload?

Seeing that you bought ebay springs, I doubt it.
