Default the gap between the fender and tire

i lowered my car and then put it back to stock not too long ago.

my car now has a bigger gap in the front then in the rear. is this normal or should it be the other way around or should the gaps be even in length? maybe the place that installed my springs put it on backwards or im seriously losing it.

the gaps should be almost even, maybe the gap in the rear is just a little bit larger.

damn, so the bastard did put it on backwards.

one last questio. the springs are of different size right? (stock)

i never bothered to look at it when i had them off the car and i wasnt the one that went to take my car in to get raised back to stock.

I just took a look at a set of stock springs in my garage and it's very hard to tell which ones are the fronts and rears. Good thing kg/mm's come in 2 separate boxes. The lengths are almost exactly the same but they are wound a little bit differently. I just checked the gaps in my car which is stock and the front and rear are about the same gap. I think yours are backwards.

Yeah, it sounds like they put them on backwards. Mine asre the same height pretty much in front and back. Maybe a bit lower in the front but pretty much even.
