suggestions on rear shocks

ok two things,

1. i installed sprint springs on KYB GR2s and its supposed to be a 2 inch drop all around, the front sits perfect i love how low it is, but the rears are way too high, prolly about 2 or 3 times the fender gap compared to the front. whats up with that? i see other maxs on the board with sprints and its a nice low drop all around.

2. my rear shocks were on their way out b4 putting the springs on but now are getting worse, should i replace them with GR2s again or get different shocks, also will that effect handling at all having different shocks in the back than the front?

sorry for the long post, thanks

i dont even think they make the infinity reference series anymore, i got them like 5 years ago, still sound great tho considering they are hooked up to my deck, but soon my 200w amp.

also those ctd cl6x speakers seem like a sweet deal, but ill just wait a bit and see how my amped front speakers sound

You're supposed to cut a coil off the rear springs for the sprints to level it..

what the hell...this threads a mess... 1. They make infinity reference's still... 2. Yeah my rear sits a little high on KYB Gr2 with Intrax springs, but subs/gas levels it out a bit. Im in debate if it isnt just my tires in back.

yea there is a noticable difference, but i only have one 12" woofer in a box, and its not that heavy at all.

i think i may just cut a coil off the rear springs when i install my new rear shocks

thanks guys
