Lowered my 1998 and it sucks!!! Help!! Ok i bought dna lowering springs from ebay 1.5 drop, the guy who put them in sold me a pair of unknown struts cause the old ones were rotted., anyway, the front is way to low, and the rear is still jacked up about 3 fingers from tire to frame! The front is so low the tires are falling inward, camber issue? Someone tell me if the guy did it wrong? Also the right rear one is higher than the whole car! Its lopsided, please i need some advice before i go in the shop and start yelling at these people! Please help

1) you bought $70 ebay springs
2) you bought unknown shocks
please don't go into the shop yelling at people, ask them nicely to inspect it or take it somewhere else to have it looked over. did you get it aligned? did they install the rear isolators? it's very possible that it's not an installation error at all, and just poor quality parts

ya man sorry lowering your car is one thing you CAN'T cheap out on most likely the spring rates are wrong for the car combined with some shotty no name shocks and bam you have a horrible ride. I'd start with a good set of shocks and see if that helps but I'd also put money the cheap springs are just as much to blame.

Yelling at the shop would be pretty narrow minded
