wrong springs ?? was created by reaper
when i fitted the lift kit it came from a mate who had taken it off his , as i hadnt done a lift before he gave me a hand
wile looking through the build photos i noticed this pic

is it possible we have put the front springs in the rear and vice versa ?
the front looks much lower to me

EDIT
is there a way to tell without removing them and measuring ?

if you fit front springs on rear that gives around 2" of lift to the rear so i would say thats what you have done

I thought the front springs had a narrower diameter than the rear springs?

Look's like a drag racer, must fill like your going down hill all the time.
Just measure the spring or count the coils the front will have one more.
ZookFastback the back and front spring are the same diameter.

And if one of the front spring is longer it go on the drivers side.B)
