Tein Basic coilovers

Does anyone have any problems in height adjustments for the basics? I have a 02 civic coupe, my front looks higher than the rear. The back is lowered 1.5 in and the front it's all the way down seems like it's riding on the bump stops. I can put 1 finger in the rear wheel and 2-2.5 fingers in the front. Should I raise the rear??? I like the height in the rear, the front almost looks stock... I contacted Tein and they replyed it should not be like that and had me contact the people who installed it. He just told me it's the way the fenders are cut?? Please advise....

I have my 14in stellies for the winter, but even with my 16's it looked higher in the front.. I saw the post on the tein ss, I have the 01 mounts on my set-up...but I don't think it's the same set-up.

Does anyone have the instructions for installation for the basics?
And does it matter if I adjust the coilovers in the winter?? I can physically see the springs compress but no height difference. Also everytime I jack the front up it seems to stay in the same position, even when it has settled for 1 week.

just go to the Tein website, they have the install manuals on there. Doesn't matter when you adjust them, i'm not sure about the springs settling after you jack the car up. Mine settles right back down (I have Tein SS though) but i don't think it matters.
