Dealer just installed my Steeda lowering springs, but the back is lower than the front. I strongly believe they are installed backwards. Lol

What do you guys think?

at least from the picture, the rears do seem a little lower than typical but the fronts look about right. is it possible they left out the rubber spring perches in back? I dont think its possible to install rears up front and vice versa.

Doesn’t look right. When I did mine I recall it being pretty obvious which were front and rear.

Yea when I look at other fresh installs on here you can definitely see a rake. This picture is fresh off the install no settling. I also forgot to mention the rear has a spacer as well.

take some wheel center-to-fender measurements and compare that to what others have posted here in the forum.

I hope they get it fixed for you. Spacer(s) has zero effect on lowering.

Not saying it is impossible to put the springs in upside-down (they would have to have really tried hard), but that should not affect the height. What I would guess is that Steeda sent you the wrong rear springs. Take a picture of the stamping on them and send that to Steeda.
