So I just installed the spec r springs on my stock 01 shocks and it seems that the rear looks lower. Is there any way that I can tell if my springs are backwards? I nstalled the springs just as how they were marked from the package. I preloaded the suspension before hand. I can fit 2 fingers in the front and 1in the rear. Are the front suppose to have longer or shorter springs?

 

Does it look like this?

Ya basically. Is it normal?

 

I would say so. Pics would help though

 

I don't think that's normal speaking from real world experience with Swift Spec R's.

Stock wheel gap is around 61-56mm rear and 49-44mm front that equates to a difference of 12mm. The swifts drop an even 30mm front and rear so you should still have the 12mm difference. i.e. 12mm higher in the rear.

 

Ill take pics today. Springs are good so far. Just a little bouncy

 

take some measurements and post them up...looks sometimes are deceiving
