Tein SS rear suspension question

I have a 94 FD and I just installed a set of Tein SS coilovers, the front end ride height is fine but the rear end is way up in the air, with the collars all the way down??

Any one else have this problem??

Thanks

(and no it's not because there is a V8 in the front end)

Have you driven the car after installing them to settle the suspension? Did you make any changes to the bolts for the suspension components (control arms, etc.) with the car up in the air? The stock rubber bushings can bind where they were tightened and prevent the car from settling back down, especially the rear lower control arms.

Another possibility is that the springs are on the wrong shocks (front switched with rear).

That would be my guess, teins usually let you go all the way down.

X...

P.S. it might be because of the V8 in the front LOL
