I put on eibach springs on my brz about 3 months ago and I love how low the front is but the back is still way to high what do you guys think about cutting the rear springs to the hight I want ?

Just remove the springs and weld the strut at desired ride height.

Are you sure that sprigs have proper rating? To have equal heights you need to have springs of very specific ratio between front and back.

I think you should maybe wait a day for it to set.

Verify that the back is suppose to sit higher than the front? If not double check the way they are installed. Don't cut your springs as that would render your springs useless.

I have the Eibach Pro kit and it does not sit like that. Something is very wrong - it should look like this. Did you put the rear springs in the front?
