Well I took on installing lowering spring (SR Lowering Springs) they have been on the car for about a month now and the front has lowered but the rear has not. it is 1/4" taller than stock... I am assuming I didnt do something correct. All i changed was the springs, still stock shocks. I couldnt find anything in the search for troubleshooting them.

Thanks!

Maybe they are not seated properly, but that is hard to do, or maybe the springs you had on there were not stock. Are you the original owner? Maybe the original springs were worn and sagging.

That's really high! I had the same problem when I installed a set of Cobra Jet Springs (5300Q) but in the front, my car looked like a baja racer! Ended up ordering different springs (Cobra Jet 5300 RA) and had no problems since. Looks like there's an issue with the springs, are there numbers on them you can verify against the part number on the box?

That stinks. There's usually a part number on the springs themselves. That might help confirm. Does look like you have the wrong springs though.

I'm gonna try installing new shocks/struts and FRPP "P" springs tomorrow. I hope I have better luck!

Check with Alex from AM, he's a member on here, he's been very helpful with me in a couple issues I had.
I can't say anything bad about AM and it's all cuz of him, he's been awesome.

Those springs look definitely wrong though, like you might have gotten a new set of stock replacements, and not lowering ones
