Is the spring seated correctly with the isolator in place and not broken?

You mean the isolator as in the piece at the very bottom of the spring? It's not broken but the end of the spring is maybe 1/4"-1/2" away from the notch? Not sure how close that has to me and I greased everything up this morning and replaced a strut mount but still no luck:/ no clue on what to do except take it all back out or take it somewhere to look at it

well after buying and replacing both strut mounts i found the problem was with the swaybar endlink somehow got loose...so its riding smooth now

Seems like people usually like Powell's or eibach the most

Best low spring? Best performance springs or best one that's a balance of low and handling. Low would be G&G or H&R (but at that point I'd say just splurge on coilovers) best handling is YYZ although it won't lower you that much and a nice mix would be SSC springs which are really close to the same as CM springs.

I'm dropping mine 2" and 2.5". Without a camber kit is the camber really noticable? I mean to the eye? I Will deff get an alignment and toe adjust. I just wanna know will it camber my tires so much that it will be highly noticeable to the eye?

Possible dumb question.
 
Just got some B&G Springs put on a few days ago. I do have a subwoofer in the trunk weighing maybe 90-100lbs (heavy I know). The back sits lower...somewhat expected maybe and audibly rubs when driving around. This is very frustrating as that is the only thing in my trunk and should I ever truly load it up for any reason it would get pretty bad.

Onto the actual question. The B&G springs have 2 springs that have a compressed end of sorts that stretch out and 2 other springs that are moreso evenly stretched for a lack of a better word.

The springs are on and it will be a pain to swap front and back if need be but which springs are supposed to go on the front and which on the back?

I can try and provide pictures if need be but it would be stock photos found online.
