I purchased a set of arospeed springs for the accord and seems like the back is lower than the front. it that normal? no fingers in the back and 2 fingers in the front.

another thing is that the front, most of the coil springs are on the bottom. is that right? or did i accidentally install it upside down. thanks -Panda Man!

Well it depends on the spring, but typically with progressives the harder coils are on the top. I've seen springs with tight coils on both ends and softer ones in the middle, but normally they're harder at the top and softer at the bottom (which is actually the inverse of how they operate).

The ride height thing is semi-normal, again it varies by spring, but the rear wheel arch is lower than the front one anyway. If you want to lose another half inch in the front look up the pinch fork mod.

the H&R springs will do that also even tho they claim its a 1.5 inch drop....i had to do the front pitch fork mod and it evened it out
