Rears/front is a good guess. This doesn't sound right to me either.

Also, shot in the dark, buuuuutttt.........

The car does take time to settle fully. I've never heard of this before, but what are the odds, that it will settle some over night?

I know, but there are a select few that may make that mistake.

Did you make sure that you seated the springs into the strut properly and bolted them down tightly?

It is pretty much impossible to put the rears in the fronts and visa versa.
They plain just don't fit. The diameters are vastly different.

Lets trouble shoot together. The rears are a piece of cake to install and remove. So...

Step #1 Take a measurement from ground to the wheelwells on all (4) corners.

Step #2 Re-install OEM rear springs only. While doing so be sure the springs are seated properly. Take a measurement from ground to the wheelwells on all (4) corners.

Step #3 Report back information to this site. This whole process should take 1-2 hours. If possible take the appropiate pictures-afterall, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you can, take pictures of where the front sway bar attaches to the strut on both sides (you'll need to take the wheels off). Did you do the work yourself? The more info, the better we can serve you.

Best of luck!

Make sure the springs go into a notch (depression) at the bottom where they sit. They only go in one way when properly installed.
