dropping suspension

I recently dropped my 2001 civic sedan on ebach (is spelling is correct) and I noticed that the back wheels were lowered more than the front ones and even after taking my car to an alingment, the back tires still looked like this / \ so I want to know if the dropping was not done right or do I need to work on something. I honestly dont know. Please guys help me out.
PS: The guy that dropped it said that with time they would go back to normal.

Re: dropping suspension

I really dont know what kind of springs they put on, they are red color, and yeah they back is lowered more that the front. How much would a chamber kit cost and where can i get it? Will that make it look better? and Thanks by the way.

Re: dropping suspension

do you thinks a camber kit wouldd still be recommendable even if the wheel is less than a finger away from touching the back fender. Will the camber kit lift the car up a little bit so the wheel can be straight?

Re: dropping suspension

Because as the wheel is is less than a finger from touching the back fender, and i am afraid that if the wheel is straightened, then the wheel will rub the fender, unless the car is lifted is some way. You Guys are the experts, please help me!!!!!

Re: dropping suspension

A camber kit doesn't lift the car, it corrects the alignment. Post pics and we can help better.
