Do you have a system in the trunk? Added wait will cause that too.

But thats right after the installation, only drove the car thru the neighb. Is it possible that I could busted the shock in the rear from driving the car in the neighb. for not even a mile?

i never heard of skunk 2 springs, you get them from ebay? i know the there coilovers suck so there springs might suck as well

No, I didnt get them from ebay. Bought them from a friend brand new for a good price. And he got them from Nopi I think.

You do know that the wheel well arches are different front to rear... so given equal amounts of drop the gap will be different front to rear.

So with them giving more of a drop up front it would seem like they are trying to compensate for that difference. But given that your's apears to be lower in the rear... I wouldnt freak out about it just yet. Ride around for a while they may settle out.

also, you really should be looking to replace the OEM dampers As soon as you can afford to. The OEM dampers can hardly handle the OEM springs, let alone a lower and stiffer spring.

I guess ill give it some time to settle.

drive around more often soo it can settle faster...or give it 2 to 3 week to seee more settlement of the springs.

Shoulda just went with coilovers to begin with. I think a lot of people have that problem with the skunk stuff

i have tein h techs and my rear is lower than the front. I thought it was normal since my friends wrx is like that (if i remember correctly).

ya that sucks dude, thats the reason you get lower in the front like you did so that sagging crap doesnt happen

 
Rep Power: 0

^^^^i second that question. when i read the thred title n saw the pic i thought someone broke into your car.

they are skunk2 "coil-over sleeves". And you should of asked before you bought them because they are very terrible springs, and they definitely take a toll on your stock struts. My suggestion is return them while you can and save up for a better quality. Also lowering springs in general + stock struts = bad for car + uncomfortable ride.

^ Just goes to show you that doing it right, and buying quality the first time will ALWAYS save you money in the long run

and for everyone saying their car is saggy in the back... you didn't read zzyzx's post.. THE ARCHES ARE DIFFERENT in the back as opposed to the front. The car sits at the same height front and rear, it just looks like it's sagging.
