can't believe
how high the front is hope it goes down alittle
Did you compare spring heights between the old springs and new springs
before installation? I've seen spring heights vary between vendors and, if
you're
not expecting the outcome, the ride height can be surprisingly different!
Another trick that worked for my TR6 is to purposely not strongly tighten
the upper control arm bushing nuts and the lower control arm bushing bolts
after you rebuild the suspension. Let the car come down on the suspension and
actually drive it for a few miles to allow the bushings to seat then tighten
all of the bolts/nuts. Of course if your ride height is really off a lot this
won't compensate completely for the spring height difference.
