Default Eibach - sit to low in back -how do install wrong?

They sit way to low in back. How can a mechanical install them wrong? Could my shock be gone in the back?

<center><img src="http://volcano.photobucket.com/albums/v11/BrooksHallRacing/audirearnoplate.jpg"></center><p>I have a nice ride hight both front and rear. Two things to check: First make sure you have the right springs. They are different for non-quattro's and there is a model year difference. I think it's like 10/99. Second make sure the springs are seated on the perch correctly. Hope this helps.

Kinda hard to tell, but it does look slightly lower than the front. Maybe have the installer look at the rear shocks. If you only changed the springs to Eibach Pro-Kit and didn't change the OE shocks, chances are it's worn or will be soon (depending on how many miles were driven on it).

Default By the looks of the pic

I'd say the car isn't as low as mine. My car does have a slight rake to it (lower front). Your's seems to be higher overall and almost level.

front spring perch could be upside down. Happened to me once in the rear of my 200q20v
