loosen bolts, lower car on the ground, tighten bolts.

also, check to make sure you installed the front springs in the front, and the rear in the rear. sounds simple, but it's been known to happen to people.

let it settle till spring, then post pics of the stance.

did you put the springs in upside down in the rear perhaps?

also, totally unrelated to your question... do you have new shocks? I recently learned that the rear accord shocks fit the rear civic and provide way more stroke (like a short body shock). so if you don't have shocks for the rear yet, consider getting accord shocks.

the rear's fit in perfect into the cupling of the shock in the rear.. and the upper cap fit perfect i can see it being upside down.. also i just used the same shock in the rear. i tried using salt bags to settle the rear end but i removed them after a month

ok then post pics. I need to see how bad this stance is. what kinda springs are they? what rate

post pics of the entire spring, with the car on the ground (best done from under the car prolly.... I wanna see if you have any dead coils you could safely cut.
