Skunk2 lowering springs

I just had Skunk2 lowering springs installed in my civic ex. In the description it says there is a 2.25” drop in the front and a 2” drop in the rear, but my front end is clearly higher than the rear. I do have the fatter springs in the front and the skinnier ones in the back, so I know at least that part was right. Do they just need to settle or do I need to fix something?

Yeah they should settle some but springs for the 7th gen sometimes leave the rear lower.

Re: Skunk2 lowering springs

I sent an email to skunk2 about it, but how long do they normally take to settle? And does it just happen naturally or should I try to hit like shallow potholes or speed bumps?

Re: Skunk2 lowering springs

Train tracks and speed bumps will help, you don't have a bunch of heavy stuff in the trunk right?

Re: Skunk2 lowering springs

Technically they all should settle together so the difference won't change between front and back. You can add a spacer in the rear to bump it up a bit.

I originally had spacers on all 4 but when I put the springs in they couldn’t fit in the back so I have spacers in the front but not the back
