I just bought an '04 and the previous owner installed 18" wheels on it. He had it lowered but put the stock springs back on when I got it. Now, the rear has about a 2 finger gap while the front has a 4 finger gap. Is this normal for a car on 18" rims that is on stock suspension?

 

maybe he put the springs on backwards or 2 of the shocks are about to blow

 

gap is usually a little higher in front
