pro kit question

I've recently installed the Eibach pro kit on my GD.

I just wanted to check that o have installed them correctly. the back is sitting alot lower than the front.
I've got the 2 springs with the tight coils at the top on the back. I this right? or have i been a complete idiot?

I've searched for others running the pro kit on GD's and the ride is level?

Any help would be great!

I don't know if it's the same for the Eibach Pro-kit, but I know Eibach Sportlines made the rear sit lower than the front.

Did you find any side profile shots of GD3s on the pro-kit?

Oh really? i thought the sportline was supposed to be completely level?

I found this one from the forum on the prokit



The front is the slightest bit higher. Mine seems far more drastic.



I like the drop on the front, i've been looking into coil spring spacers to raise the back up. The last thing i want to do is start cutting things.

Springs can't tell if there right side up or right side down.

I can't tell by your picture how drastic the difference is but I have pro kits on my car and they do sit a little lower in the back. It's annoying, I know. I have eibach sport lines on my old 2000 accord coupe and it's much more obvious. Good thing is that normal people never will notice. Only the owner cause we're very particular about our cars.

What you're describing sounds normal for eibach springs.

my sportlines sit very level, the reason that i didnt get prokit is because i kept reading that they were lower in the rear.
