I have a set of these, have had them on for about 3 years now. I really like them. They are not as hard as some of the others, give a nice ride. You will enjoy them. Any questions, just ask.

Do you have any pics of them on your car? I'm getting 18" wheels and I don't want to go too low or rub at all.

Here are a couple pics of my car. The springs I got, actually off ebay, lower a little less than 2". I saw another set that said they lower about 2.75". I have 17" on mine, could put 18" if I wanted.

Nice!

Did you also upgrade your shocks or did you keep OEM?

Wow, I guess Im just unlucky with my vogtland springs.... Ive gone through two sets in two months because Im getting an uneven ride. First the back sat a good inch or more higher than the front so they sent me another set. Now one side on the read sits an inch lower than the other side in the rear... Im buying another set, probably Teins or something. I dont know. Do you by chance remember the part number for your springs STREETKA? Im also using GYB GR2 struts.

Also, someone was talking about the weight difference with the 6mt and the Auto in another thread, I just noticed yours is a 6mt so maybe thats why my front is so low?

Who did the install ? I can not belive there is such a differance. My teins are even if my trunk is empty, i put some stuff to the trunk and my rear end is noticale lower than a front but nothing like you showed on picture. Ill post pic later.

I did the install, and this is not the first car I have installed springs or coilovers on in the past. Ive installed my own suspension on 6 of the 8 hondas Ive owned. SO I am POSITIVE its not installation error. And Ive tried 2 sets for the rear and got different results both times. the first time both sides in the rear had 3 finger gap. Now the passenger side is at the height it should be but the drivers side is still 3 fingers. The front, well its way lower than it should be with those springs, but I dont mind it because it looks really good to me that way so I didnt mess with the front. I know there is a weight difference from the 6mt to Auto and am not sure if thats a cause for the front being the way it is. Mine is an Auto. Im not that worried about it, im getting a partial refund for my springs and am gonna go with a different setup.

I would say that the front seats to low and something is wrong with the front rather than with the rear. Check the front once again
