Eibachs & Rims today...Rear lower than front

This thread is useless without pictures. I know. I will take care of that tonight hopefully.

I just had Eibach's installed today with TSW Mondello's (19's in Hyperblack). The front is not as low as the rear. I thought I might have read about this before, but searches won't work on that long of an idea.

Should the rear look lower than the front after the lowering?

And I know the rear drop is more with these springs, but I thought that was to even it out.

H&R gives even drop. Eiback, Tein, TRD gives the rear a lower drop.

I know the specs, but if the rear is higher to start with, then a bigger drop in the rear would even it out. That was what I was expecting. Pictures are still to come. I can't hook my camera up on this computer. I will have to wait until I get home.

the TRD/Eiback (same spring dif names) on the Gen 6 will sag in the rear..You can get a spring rubber/cushion to eliminate this, or get the H&R springs for an even drop all around.

hi guys this is my first post and sorry to hijack a thread..
i'm from singapore and i've recently installed H&R lowering springs on my ride..
instead of the model 54685 u guys are on, i'm on 29294. the shop only carries this model and claims to work perfectly with my car..
but now, i'm with this set up.. 3 finger upfront, 2 finger rear..



could it be that im on the wrong set of springs?

Smok3y. Did you get the PM I sent you a few days ago? Please write back if you still have the factory wheels.

Thanks
