Is rear higher than front normal?
I just installed eibach sportlind and tokico blues on my 95 civic 4dr. The front almost has no fender gap , but the rear is still very high, i can fit 4 fingers in the fender gap. Is this normal??
Sorry about the poor pic quality...

That's definitely not normal. You might have had the springs reveresed.

Mine have never came with instructions, but the shorter ones I have put on the front and I had no problems. I personally think the rear end when higher than the front looks tight kinda mean (this can be done easier with coil-overs.. Yours is a little to high though. You defiantely may want to check to see if they were put in right.

A shop installed them for me...
I am not sure what the numbers are for the springs, but i am positive that the front springs have "F" and rear springs have"R" on them... Is it possible to switch the rear springs to the front, to make it look more balanced?

A shop installed my coilovers once and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get my car to sit right when I got to NOPI.
Got back home (800 miles) and found out they put the front springs on the right hand side of the car, and the rear springs on the left side of the car. So yes springs can be installed wrong. Let me say I was pretty pissed at that shop.

Ahh dude that sucks, sorry to hear that. Ebay has always pissed me off, thats probably why I don't buy from there. I think he owes you some Civic springs.. Email to see if he will even help. If he doesnt file a complaint with ebay, and leave him some bad feedback,to protect the rest of the ebayers out there. And I would go beat his ass, no matter where he was at.. I hate being ripped off. Well good luck man..
