That's what I was about to ask, are they stock struts?? NOT a good idea to put aftermarket springs on stock struts.

Maybe they installed the front springs in the back and the back in the front. Doubt it, but who knows.

the springs should eventually settle a bit. That may even out the look a little more.

I tried sitting in the backseat of the car when its driven and ride is so bumpy ur whole body jumps off the seat and my head hits the ceiling! I asked people at Altered Atmosphere and they said they dont know what the problem is...the shocks and stuff are okay.......I also hear a clunking noise whenver i go over a bump!
