Progress springs sagging?

I have a set of Progress springs on my 03 ex and they sit about 1.5" lower in the back than in the front. I really don't like the way that looks. Plus it's jackin up my tires. Is this normal for progress springs, or did I just get a sh*tty set? Thanks guys.

if you get a pair of shocks it should help. Progress springs are a little on the soft side so they bounce a little.
Can you give us any more information on the problem?

I don't really have any good pics of the problem. My rear tires are tucked under the wheel wells, while the front ones have about 1/2 inch between them and the wheel wells.

That picture was with the stock wheels (obviously) and it doesn't look as bad there. I now have 16" Maxxim 178's with 205/50 toyo proxes fz4 and it seems to be worse. I had a 02 civic ex last year with the same setup except enkei rs6 17's and I don't remember the back sagging this bad.

I know a guy that has progress springs and yes the rear is tucked in... and ofcourse the front isnt or he wouldnt be able to turn. For sure the rear was lower, but not significantly... so i dont know about 1.5"?? It looked good though, the car didnt look lopsided. Btw this guy has had his car for much more than a year with these springs and stock shocks. They are still not blown.

thats just the way progress are.. thats why i didnt get them. this one vic that drives around has progress. the front has a little gap and the rear tucks alot.. doesnt look pretty..
ya if you get konis, you can fix the problem by setting the rear perch to the top one. but then again cheaper fix is just getting new springs
