Hi,
Just had my shocks replaced with Koni FSD. After replacing the shocks and keeping the original springs, the front end seem to be higher than it was before. Can anyone tell me why this would happen? I thought it was the shocks, but after putting back the original it still sits higher than normal. By the way, I also replaced the lower control arm, balljoint and swaybar link. Also, could my friend have installed something incorrectly. Such as the springs being put on upside down or can it only be put on one way?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi!

Every time you lift the car the spring goes from pressed to being unpressed. So give your car and sprins a while to settle (1-2 weeks) and then you should be OK

My car always lookd high like a Jeep the first few days after I've had it lifted

I didn't know that old springs need to settle. I 'll give it a couple weeks to see what happens. Thanks
