you have the sport springs correct? ive heard that sports drop much lower in the rear comapared to the race h&rs for some reason. The rears are pretty self explanatory to install so i know i didnt mess it up.

The Race springs should drop lower than the Sport springs all around. What size tires do you have? I'm guessing that is why you have such a big wheel gap. The springs may take a couple of weeks to settle in also.

theyre not gonna settle that much and he would have to have rubber bands on his tires to be able to fit 3 fingers in the wheel well in the back
