damn, so you guys are saying the front needs to be preloaded for the kg/mm race springs? what about the rear?

Your car looked very, very nice...untill I saw the wing.

 

hehe I'll try to do the front again next week
btw I really like the wing............but you guys.....

 

Maybe it's that wing.

 

the wing only 6 pounds so.....dont think it's because that.

 

there are other members that have this springs and the front tend to be a little higher, i bought koni yellows and the shocks have to perches, there is one perch that holds the stock height of the shock and one that drops i think 10mm or somthing, im in the process right now doing mine with the front on the second perch and the back on the top perch, hopefully it evens out, here is a picture to give u an idea. there is the perch one where the silver ring is sitting on and there is number 2 its a gap where u set the yellow ring then the silver ring on which gives from what i heard slight drop not so significant, but it helps.

 

I just picked up my car with the KG/MM Race Springs on them and I have a tight 2 finger gap in the rear and a 2 finger gap in the front.

Looks like whoever installed the springs for you didn't preload the suspension.

 

Update: Not much of a difference in height when compressing, maybe .15" if that. I recompressed to make sure, and it didn't go much lower. I'm a bad example since my rears are .4" (almost half an inch thicker side wall) in the rears, I fit 3 snug in the front, 2 snug in the rear just to give you an idea, after the compress.

I could fit 3 very easily in the front before compressing, and 2 in the rear easily before compressing, not much of a difference.

Same problem I had, I didn't even realize, preloading was required until my car looked like it got a huge lift to go off roading in the front, hehe. It's very easy to correct, error comes with learning. Not like changing your typical shocks on a civic/integra, that's for sure.
