Coil over sleeves too low.
Well I am budget building my DA, so I figured a set of cheap coil overs would do. I never drive it so I dont really care how it rides. I got some KYB G2's. I installed them today and the rear sits so low its on the stops (which are cut) even all the way up. The front and rear springs have no markings as being different. This sucks. I always bought H&R and I now I know why. Any ideas on how to raise the back up? I was thinking of putting a spacer under the sleeve inside the strut. When you drop the sleeve in the strut only half the sleeve is even visible. Any ideas would be appreciated. Should I put the spring on the bottom and the sleeve on the top?... hmm that might work.

ACtually it was the KYB's. I compared them and the KYB has a large recess where the spring sits. Any coil over sleeve type wouldn't have worked. I can just add a busshing but I already have the Teins on order and I can only assume the Ebay coilovers will ride like a bag of -------!
