Rear sitting much higher than the front

Post by jbud1291 »

So about 2 weeks ago I installed new kyb gr2's and apex springs. I knew that the springs would need to settle and that I would not get the full drop until the springs were broken in. Well now it seems the fronts have settled but the back springs have not. Im thinking maybe adding some weight in the trunk for a week or so? Ill try and get pics but as of right now the back of the car is much higher than the front. This happen to anyone else??

Yes I know when the springs settle they drop a few mm which really isnt much...but I did notice that the front has gotten slightly lower. In the front there is almost no gap at all( can barely fit one finger), while in the rear I can fit 3 fingers. I know that the front is lower than the rear on these cars but this seems to be quite a big difference
