Sorry. Hmm. The front looks lower than it should be and the rear is quite obviously too high. This happend to the rear on a friends integra, and his dust covers on his rear struts were either on upside down, or not needed for his kit. Try removing them. Take it all apart and be sure its together like it was when you pulled it out.

Where did you get them, and how is the Tein logo stamped on the spring? Is it straight if you stand the spring up, or does it follow the spring direction? Is it a sticker, or paint?

They should be labeled, but actually that sounds wrong.

The fronts should have much less space in between the coils than the rears, they are a much stronger spring because they have to hold up so much more weight. Maybe you have the fronts on the rear and the rear on the fronts?

What about the serial number on the spring, is it horizontal to the ground or does it follow the contour of the coil?

They're fucking backwards. You put the REARS in the FRONT and the FRONT in the REAR.

Much better........so I'm guessing they were backwards? Fronts on the back and vice versa?

How long does this mod take? Just curious....
