So I finally got around to installing my Tokico Blues/Prokits today. After I got the whole deal bolted up and $15 camber mod done, and lowered the car off the jacks, I noticed that the front is dropped significantly lower than the back. I can only fit about 1 and a half of my skinny little fingers in between the front tire and the fender, while in the back I can put my whole fist without touching the fender. The back looks almost stock. I took the car out and around the block quick and the front seemed VERY bouncy. After the car sat for a couple hours I noticed that the passenger side rear spring seemed to have lowered to the point where I can only fit 3 fingers in there, but the driver's side is still sitting high.

When I searched on this, I found that maybe I got the springs screwed up and put the back ones on the front and vice versa. I'm gonna check the car again in the morning to see if it dropped any more and probably disassemble the suspension again tomorrow, but does anyone have any words of wisdom/advice/experience with this at all?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

check to see if you put the right springs in the right places. if so, then just give them time to settle. i got the tokico springs which are pretty much the same as the prokits and the back does sit higher than the front but it is all good also it seems to be alittle uneven when i look at it but no car will ever be lowered perfectly even. good luck.

I no longer have my 99 rs because i totaled it!!!

make sure they are in the right spot then make sure the spring are set in properly the end of the spring are against the stops at the top in the rubber part and on the bottom perch. if those things are correct give it a day or 2 to settle into place.

I bet you put the front ones on the back and vice versa. Even without waiting for it to settle you shouldn't be able to fit your whole fist in there.

I'm gonna agree with everyone else, compress them against the ground. The fronts are noticeably stiffer than the rears.

Yeah, y'all were right.

Monday night I tore it all apart again and switched the springs around, and lo and behold, it corrected itself.

'Course I discovered that I had two blown struts in the front, but that's neither here nor there.

Thanks to everyone for their input, I appreciate it.
