Tein H-Tech installed backwards?

Hi. Is it possible to have the Tein H-Tech installed backwards? I mean the front springs in the back and vice versa. I'm asking because I had them installed and it seems that the back is lower than the front. Since they are 1.1/0.7 souldn't it be the other way around? The front lower or even with the back?

Also, looking at other member's pics, their cars seem to be more even or have the front lower than the back.

Any coments? Thanks.

You'd definitely notice the problem -- your rear end would be WAY off from the front (like over 2" difference in wheel gap).

Give them a few days to settle, firstly. Secondly, they have 1.1 / 0.7" drops because from the factory, the front an rear aren't evenly positioned (the front is higher than the rear), so the unequal drops on the H-Tech springs actually make the end result very close to perfect between front and back.

Thanks. It seems to have settled in the front. Much better now However now I can feel for myself what I use to read about the "bouncyness" of the ride... Oh well, no money for anything better yet.

Mine was somewhat bouncy (110,000km / 70,000 miles on the OEM shocks before going with H-tech springs). I've gotten used to it and its not really that bad. One day (ie: when the car is paid off... lol!), I'll go with a better setup, but for now it's excellent for the money, IMO.
