Now I know the struts only effect the stiffness of the ride, but the rear setting was set to the fullest stiffness, could it keep my car's ass jacked up? and vice versa for the front?
OR
Could the rear springs fit on the front? Maybe the previous owner got it screwed up?

You might see if the springs are reversed.. front on back and vice versa. The front springs are beefier because they support the weight of the engine. From what you describe I would bet this is your problem. Just look at the springs, the actual metal of the springs should be thicker in the front than the rear.

i agree with fasterGS, sounds like you have the front springs on the back, and rear spring on the front. if anything you should have more clearance in the front because the front wheels turn.

Ok thanks for the help guys!
two questions though
What kind of springs are "blue"? Never seen those before
and are the front and rear springs interchangable for the eclipse? I know for some hondas and acuras that they will not even sit on the perch correctly, but I think somebody told me that you can mix them up like that on the eclipse. Thanks again

Blue Spring + uneven drop = H&R sports. H&R springs are blue and they are supposed to drop the front lower than the rear, that is how they are designed.
I have a pair of H&R sports on my car. The Front is noticeable lower than the rear, giving the car a "meaner" look to it. I have the factory 16s in the front and the top of the tire is almost in the fender.
