Hey guys so i ordered some dna springs and just installed them. the front is fine, actually it's what i was looking for but the bad part is the back. the springs made my car sit higher in the rear -_- is that an install issue or what?...excuse the dirty car.


Right side

Left side


This is parked on an angle.
 


It's common. Can't expect to much from $89 springs tho. The fronts settle nice now as far as the back goes that's a different story.
 
I had them like that for a couple months or so and had to buy ssc n just swapped the rear..sad to say but should have went with them from the start
 


If you can find someone selling them on here or craigslist..I had to buy a full set off of canuckmotorsports.com.. then id just swap them all out n sell yours to make some money back. People have cut a quarter coil off but idk bout all that.

get a good sound system, i have ssc's and the rear end has a lot of play lol, but original suspension minus springs
 
well i cut out about a quarter of the spring and now im back to stock ride height but i guess i'll wait a few weeks and see how she settles down.

Added a little weight in the trunk ;)

Haha yeah, I've only had the car for a year now but when i pulled off the back struts they seemed fairly new compared to the front ones. i was actually planning on cutting off another quarter tomorrow if the back wasn't almost level with the front.
 
Ya it aucks its the weekend n you prob have stuff to do during the week. Idk if you should let it try n settle more or take more off. Because once its off, it's not going back on if it goes too low lol.

Yeah i work 9 to 5:30 Monday threw Friday and my moms wedding is saturday and my car club has a bbq on sunday then repeat Monday threw Friday. lol but if it's noticeably lower tomorrow i'll wait and see but ive gotten pretty fast at taking those struts off and putting them back on lol.
 
Lol yeah that's how it was my second time around too. First time was at least 8 hrs in cold sleet. Then when I did my rears it took like an hour, if that.
