Default stupid springs.....

in the rear, on the driver side, i am almost tucking tire now, barely a one finger gap, BUT on the other side(rear) i have a 2 finger gap...its off by an inch. WHY? i made sure its sitting correctly.

this is a classic example of why i prefer coilovers... the only thing i can think of is.. did you remember to put the front springs in front and the rear springs in back..

I had feeling you had a problem when I saw this post.
Did you install them correctly? Not being an ass, you never know.

It took a few months for my springs to settle, I used to have 2 finger gap in the front and a 2.5 finger gap in the front on my stock 13s. Now it's down to 1.5 finger gap all around. I think the cold weather made it drop more.

Go and check that everything was done right.
