installed my tanabe df210 springs a month ago, i got a two finger gap in the front, no gap in the back tire, actually the tire is tuck in the wheel well. my drop looks like $hit!!! the springs in the back are way to soft.
i wanted to know if anyone with these springs has this problem?
i plan on cutting a coil in the front this weekend, is this a good or bad idea?

Do you have a heavy stereo system in the back, that could be why it is lower in the rear.

usually spring manufacturers make the rear springs for the celica stiffer than the front. The stock rear springs for the rear are stiffer than the fronts as well. Doesnt make too much sense unless you installed it wrong.

how could he install it backwards???

I have the GF210's and the drop is lower in the back than the front. It really irks me cause I notice it everytime I stare at the car. So Im thinking of switching to Teins

don't cut it man. you're gonna kill the strength and durability of the spring.
