HELP with Sportlines!!

I know this might be a dumbass question to some but there is a reason behind it. I bought this car about a month ago and the dealership had the car lowered for me before I got it (had some weird susp on it ie..1 inch drop in front and what looked to be truck spring in the rear (lol no kidding) Anyway they put Sportlines on it and since I have been doing all my mods to it I have noticed that the springs just dont look right. The rear coils are completely compressed at the top of the spring not 1-2 coils I mean like 6-7 coils. and the only travel it has downward is about 1/2 inch. SO HERE IS FINALLY MY QUESTION ...IS THERE ANYWAY THEY PUT THE FRONT SPRINGS ON THE BACK AND VICE VERSA? How can you tell the difference? Sorry so long. Thanks in advance!!

Fronts will not go in the back...besides, the spring rate on the front is WAY too much for the back. Your best bet is to get new springs. I have sportlines on mine right now (bought it that way) and I'm waiting until sam ges some more in stock.

And a few of my rear coils are binding as well. Don't those bump stops feel great?

Get different springs. Even stockers would be better...

get prokit springs or stranos
personally i like the look of the prokit drop, but stranos are more practical and purposeful (if that is even a word)

Stranos, Mac, G2 (LG Motorsports), BMR, Prokit

The list of springs made for these cars is huge. Any of them would be better than what you have now. As for the ride...
