Roush rear lowering springs?

I finally was able to get this mod done, but I seem to have a problem... The back now sits lower than the front rather than leveled out... Would installing them the wrong way have this type of an effect? I have them with the fatter end towards the axle (down) and the thinner end towards the frame (up)... I really don't want to get the front springs if I don't have to, but if this is what I am stuck with on the rears, then I will go ahead and get them, cause it sits way too low in the back now...
Any suggestions?

height wont matter which way you installed them.

Also, read this thread:

It addresses both issues, the positioning of the springs and the ride height problem.

Lol! Smart a$$...
Okay, I finally drove it around a bit and washed her up... So far, I can definitely tell the back end is stiffer, but not *bad* stiff... Just noticable (and also cause I am trying to feel differences)... Over speed bumps, it's tighter and not as *spongy* as the front ones. Overall I am liking them and after I drove it around a bit, I took some more pictures...
It seems to have leveled out too, which I don't think is possible, but it looks more level now...
I'll give it a day or so and figure out if I can live with this or if I should just get the fronts done too!

Icey,
I have seen rubber ring spacers that would work. Just put them on the top of the spring before you stuff em up in the well? Try Jegs or Summit? I guess they would also work on the bottom as well.

My friend said something similar, but I decided to bite the bullet and order the fronts... The good news is that the springs will all be the same... So while I didn't really want to lower the front, I will feel better that they are the same springs...

Congrats! Your car will handle and look great. Struts/shocks should be your next mod.
