spring install question???

Recieved my goldline springs the other day for my coupe 1.75 all around. And installed them today. But when i did it i noticed the front springs to be considerably shorter than stock but my rear springs were practically the same size. Installed both and my front is nice and low with about a one finger gap space, but my rear looks not to be lowered at all.??????? Did i miss something. Ive tried searching no luck thought..all help/coments would be greatly appreciated. thanks

The back did not drop all the way down cause you do not have the weight back there like you do in the front. Take the car out for a drive and take a couple of sharp turns. Then go home and look at the back, that should settle the springs down. But remember, everytime you jack up the back of the car you will have to resettle the back springs.
