I've heard of this before with Skunk 2 springs. I think I recall people swapping the springs from front to rear, or something like that.

Pete may be right about swapping the springs from front to rear. I had this happen with the Swift Springs on the wife's car. The instructions were not in English and the springs were labeled wrong. The car was sitting high in the front and low in the back after the install. I called Evasive and they got in touch with someone from Swift. End result was I had to do it again swapping front to rear. Sorry to hear you may be having a similar issue.

No spring will ever leave a car raked down in the front. Most cars have more wheel gap up front naturally so most springs end up closing the gap but still leaving the nose like it sits up more. What's the drop on the skunk2 springs supposed to be front and rear?

Is it just me or does everyone else feel like they've been busier in the last month or two than the rest of the year?

For the last few weeks I've felt like I always something to do the next day or next weekend.

Parting out/selling a car will chew up some spare time.

My weekends have been slammed! Weekdays too, for that matter.

Yeah I suppose that'll do it. I know that has eaten up a lot of my time over the last month but I feel like it's been more than that.

It does look like things are all set for getting my new car tomorrow. I've got to find at least one autocross event to run with it before the end of the year. Unfortunately I think it has some cruddy all season tires that'll blow for any real aggressive driving.
