No definatley not. The springs are indexed. The rears would not have fit on the front shocks nor would the fronts fit right in the rear.

the rear wheel arches are cut lower than the fronts. So it will always look a little uneven with truly even drops. It really starts to show up more once you get past a certain point, a certain amount of drop. Make sense?

I have a more tame drop (and its an X), but I think I am higher than that point where it feels like the rear is really uneven looking compared to the fronts.

Yeah thats pretty much what I figured. I think I will just deal with the look for now and save for a few months and get coils. Plus, Im sure my OEM shocks wont last that long with a drop this size anyway so coils are are really my only choice unless I wanted a whole new spring/shock combo.

Man those springs are low. Hopefully you've got shocks that can handle such a steep drop. Z or G Sport shocks won't cut it.

If you have the oem shocks you are going to overheat them like crazy which will wear them out fast.

whats so messed up about the camber? there is some camber that was needed to clear the wheels, butim sure the angle of the photo exxagerates how much camber there actually is. the car drives perfectly fine
