It's true that the Z H-Techs don't lower the rear much from stock, but from the sound of it, dream_g35's rear actually was higher than stock. That might be a different issue. As you can see from my install, it definitely did not raise the rear, just dropped very slightly.

As for the springs being upside down, I thought there were TEIN labels printed in the coils of the springs? I'm pretty sure if that label is the right side up, it should be the right direction.
