Springs Installed - Problem?
I just got my Comptech springs installed not to long ago and I noticed that the back sits lower then the front. I don't think it should be like this.
Does anybody know why this could be?

No such thing.
If they're black springs from Comptech, they are Eibach Springs.

Black Springs = Eibach Springs
While Comptech was responsible for the Silver springs, they're just the middle man for the Eibachs. With a mark-up of course.
The drop for the black springs (Eibach) is lower than the original drop of the Silver springs (comptech). 2" in the Front and 1.7" in the rear. The Eibachs also don't give the car as much of a rake as the Comptech if any at all.
What's in your trunk? Any added weight can make the car seem to sag in the back. Also, make sure you check to see if the springs are on backwards.

Did you put the backs on the front and vice versa ?
I Don;t know about the Black Eibach's, but the Comptechs (Silver) have the black rubber sleeves at the base of them, and those are the rears. Did you inpspect all the springs first ?
