Just installed springs

Hey guys.. I just installed my Neuspeed SPORT springs on my 95 civic coupe.... and well, the front looks REALLY low... and the back looks about the same as it was before..... Would anyone know what happened? I mean.. I did everything right... cut bumpstops.. front springs in front, rear in rear... I donno maybe its fine but the front is just alot more low then the rear... if anyone has any guesses feel free.. thanks

how many inches is your front bumper from the ground??

i recent installed the neuspeed race springs and my front bumper now sits about 4.5 inches from the ground... that is without a lip also....

it could also be that your shocks haven't settled also... like take the car out and do some tight turned and it may drop more.... my rear dropped about an inch from just doing that after....

but even for my springs the front wheel are actually smaller then the rear and they are tucking while the rears are not... i think its just how nuespeed and other companies just do it.... looks better that way anyways

well like i said the rear end does sit higher then the front... maybe an 1.5" at most... and that is on race springs... but even at stock ride hieght the rear sits higher... on my car it did anyways.... and if you look on the nuespeed site... they do say the front drops more...

you should've got the race springs though... since i've had mine on... which is like 3 days now... i've had 4 people who have "sport" springs from various companies saying there car is not low enough
