    I just installed these springs tonight on some kyb shocks. The front seemed to have lowered immediately but the rear is higher than it was with the stock setup. Is this normal?

    Give it time to settle. Drive it around and give it about a week. From my experience the rears always tend to sit higher until the springs settle.

    Haven't taken any new pics rear has seemed to settle a little more...I am getting a alignment this weekend ill update pics after this...I am running stock everything except for the springs...no pogo washers or engine spacers...I have a touch of axle vibration under 50mph if I go WOT...most likely I will make my own spacers after I have it aligned

    Wow........ you guys trust a $20 spring? I'd bet the spring rate is waaay off on all them and they are crap quality.

    Nice! I need an alignment done in both my cars. Doing a trans swap in the Regal though this Friday so I'm waiting to do it until after that.

    I don't. I'm terrible about taking pictures when I mod the cars. I could rattle off everything that's done to them but that's no fun without pics.
