Installed Tanabe DF210 but...
I think i have a problem guys...specs for these springs are 1.8(Front) and 1.7(Rear). The problem (I think) i have is it seems that the rear is noticeably lower than the front. I have about 1.5 finger space between the tire and fender in the front and .5 fingers length on the rear. Is this a problem? if so, how can i go about alleviating this?

the fender arc is higher on the front wheels than in the rear, giving the appearnce and the rear being lower.
most hondas are like that, one way to tell if it sittin flat is to look at the side skirt/doorline to the ground.

Makes sense though, Im 1.5 up front and 1" in back and I look pretty even.

^^ Sorry man, i wasn't talking about the NF210s. I installed the DF210. The difference between the two of them is the NF stands for Normal Feeling which equals more a stock ride with a decent drop. While the DF, which stands for Dress up Form drops the car a bit lower. The spring rate is 10-15% (stated on the site) while the NF spring rate is at 5%. Overall though, i'm happy with the springs. I have noticed that my ride is a bit more rough, i feel more of the road. I do intend on purchasing shocks but i hear settling in the springs before purchasing aftermarket shocks is best, which is what i'm doing right now. Is that a valid statement?
