as i guessed in an ealier post...it could be that your front is in the back and back in the front.

 

Yeah I had guessed that same exact thing but I switched em and it barely changed anything. And no I ordered the right ones cause I even checked the serial number on the box and matched it with the ones on the site I bought em from. So either I just need to try swapping em again or Adventon.com sent me the wrong springs in my civic type box......this is starting to really piss me off!

 

So I take it these are the ones you bought?

H&R SPORT SPRINGS for 92-95 HONDA CIVIC, NON 4 DOOR EX (-1.80 F -1.60 R)
ID #: HR 29863
Adventon's Price: $120.69 Set of 4
Retail: $269.00

Hmm... If they're supposed to be the correct springs, perhaps the shocks are for the wrong year civic? You said that switching them front to rear didn't help at all? Do the front and rear springs look exactly the same?

 

Show pics of the springs and struts without the wheels so we can see them better.

 

Condition of the shocks do not affect ride height at all. Doublecheck the model numbers on both your shocks and springs to make sure they're correct. Usually, on lowering springs, the fronts are linear rate and the rears are progressive(much softer than the front as to not significantly alter ride quality). As others have already said, it's most likely you accidently put the fronts on the rear and vice versa.

 

maybe when you had them on the first time the back needed time to settle and thats why they were higher. Id try swapping the fronts to back and backs to front for at least a week

 

The condition of a shock does affect ride height. Blown shocks make your car sag. Cadillacs are a testament to that. Usually most lowering springs are either linear or progressive, they wouldn't make the front set different from the rear. If so, what springs are linear in the front and progressive in the rear?

 

Eibach Sportlines and Pro Kits, Goldline, Comptech all make lowering springs that way.

 

I know for sure that Eibach sportlines and prokits are progressive rate springs. Goldlines, they look progressive rate to me. Not sure about Comptech.

 

THis is interesting... call up the place where you got the springs, double check your part numbers.
