Fs: Apex Lowering springs

I have apex lowering springs 1.5-2 inch drop there only 2 months old, I bought them off someone and they didn't fit like they said $140 88-00 civics/integras but for some reason they didn't fit my 91 HB right the front was lowered but the back was still stock height. I'm looking for coilovers now if someone wants to trade springs for coils for my 91 HB

oh ill tell you why that happened!!!!

b/c you had them mixed up!! it happened on my civic SIR,
your front springs have a set rate or a tensioner to hold your engine bay up and all that!

so stick your back to front!

the front springs should be smaller ( skiinier ) then the wider springs for the rear!

bump for a sale :S

thats not it...he had them installed backwards the first time and when he reinstalled them proper like the same thing happened...I personally think they are integra springs and since the HB civic dont weigh enough they aint lowering or whathave you...either way the back stays jacked

EF, EK springs are different...
that's why they don't fit
and the Apex springs is designed to be lower in front
