Skunk2 springs..

I installed a set of skunk springs on my 07 fit and the front is slammed nice with no gap but the back is looking really weak. About a 2 finger gap. I am sure the springs are installed correctly. Is this normal? thanks..

The spring lowers the front more than the rears. Its possible that springs need to "settle" a bit also.

What size wheel and tire are you running? With stock GD wheels and stock size tires, two fingers is about as low as you are gonna go. Let them settle for a week or so and if you are still unhappy get some Tanabe GF210 rears, they sit level with Skunk2 fronts. Or cut a full coil off the Skunks like I did....

I would upgrade you shocks soon. Any lowering spring is going to put a giant strain on your shocks period.
