That was the same thing I first thought...

OP: Don't cut your springs...that's typical ricer crap that you see on twenty-year old Hondas in the hood

I think you put them on backwards... haha
Move your rear springs to the front and the front to the rear. and make sure that the two front ones are the same and the two rear ones are the same. haha

Nah man, the back springs are upside down. They even put the Eibach lettering on there in a way to let you know if you've got it the right way or not.
