Installed new springs sagging rear
I just installed some teins on the car but the rear is lower than the front. Front measures 27 1/2 off concrete, rear 26 3/8" . Rear shocks are new so it cant be them. Any ideas what it could be. Writing and numbers on springs are right side up so I considered that was right.

Let us know how the ride quality is for you.

A lot of debate around it. Plus I've been thinking of goin with Tein and I'm really interested.

I was just responding to your PM, glad you figured it out. I never actually installed the rears, cause I have a very heavy speaker box in my trunk that already sagged the rear. I loved the look but they were just too low for NYC street and especially my steep driveway. Here's how it looked on mine.
