Ok well my car is dropped unevenly cuz some idiot put a front spring in the rear and a rear in the front...the point of this...the spring has a number code (atlest the tokicos do) if it ends in an R is a rear, if its an F its a front...god i wish i knew this before here a pic:
see the R? thats a rear.. two others have a F...this should be added to corbins strut/spring install walkthrough by a mod, with his permission!

um... i would think the "F" and "R" would kinda be self explanitory in itself... Also, if the spring doesn't fit over the the little colar on the spring pearch, like the stock ones do, that would be a good indication that something's amiss... I can't say too much, because i tryed putting a rear spring on one of my front struts, then was kinda pissed that it didn't fit... figured it out before i put it on the car though. I read your other post, where you said that you actually took it to a shop to have the work done, so im not going to give you too much crap, i just suggest you find another shop... just my $0.02

but yea i went to a shop, and got em corrected today, but now the REAR is dropped to the max cuz the flimsy rear spring was holding all the weight of the front...i just hope the "springs" back up over time, i just got it done a couple hours ago, and im typing this at school, so well see...

That should not be added because it would create confusion when using other types of springs. Eibach doesnt use F/R they have different numbers but no F/R.
It doesnt take a mechanic to look at the springs and know whats front or rear. My advise is never take your car there again.

Yeah, even just looking at that pic I can see that there is a difference. Makes sense that the Thicker springs would go in the front, if it doesnt then im sorry.

I would believe that the spring should come back into spec, unless the front end of the car put enough weight on those springs to permenantly damage them, in which case I'd call the manufacturer and ask them what they suggest, then possibly go after the shop for reimbursment for the springs. Lesson learned, don't trust other people with important things.

well ive also read that no car will be PERFECTLY evenly dropped. now after a few days, all wheel are good except the front drivers side, the pass. side has a 2finger gap while the drivers has a 2.5-3 finger gap...but my car is almost ALWAYS parked on a slant, leaning to the pass side (my street) so that might be an issue aswell.
P.S. remember i was gona black out my tails? well i did but i got a cheap pair of altezzas off ebay to do it, and COMPLETELY blacked out all 3 pieces, except the silver eclipse letters, looks sweet! pics ASAP!
