Default car rides like a tank...the rear is lower than the front

i had my suspension replaced with KYB-GR2 all around and now it rides like it's got some load in the back......it's still with the original springs on....
would a lowering springs kit fix the problem and will they work with the KYB's? (i'm thinking Eibach)
thanks a lot !

Default I think KYB's are little soft for the car. You can't use them with lowering springs either.

I think a good setup is Eibach springs and Bilstein sports. Not too low, not too harsh, just right.

Default My Avant rides low in the back...

...with stock springs and Bilstein HD shocks. I think Neuspeed has spacers that move the spring higher on the shock body. It looks like mine could be 3/4" higher but I've become accostomed to the motorboat look!

ECS sells the spacers. Only works with bilsteins.
