Default Tein sag

Ive seen posts here before but im wondering about my suspension. I have installed Tein S-techs and Skunk2 sport shocks. They were installed correctly as far as I can tell. The rear end looks like it is sagging now about a month after install. They used to have about a 1 finger space in the rear wells and 11/2 in the front wells, but now the rear has no finger space (looks like they are tucked) and the front is still the same. Here are some pics, its a 94 cx:

REAR

The car is balanced though, I measured

i have skunk 2's on my 2002 ex sedan, and i have the same thing, front looks weird because the back is tucked, but the car is level... a friend of mine fixed his by putting a 2 inch drop in the back and a 3 inch in the rear. but from what i have heard other people have the same thing happen with there skunk 2 springs.

That's probably from them settling that they went down more, anyway I think they put more stiffness in front springs because it has to hold engine weight all the time. But they should be like that cause you have to look at the body line (window line) it's all straight, unless you want the aggressive look where the back is up a bit more, that can only be solved as Aaron said, dropping the front more.

hey mill, i do have a system in the back. Its just a single 10" sub and small box though and the amp. The spare tire is in the back too. Would it make a difference to take it out? Once I swap later this year anyway I am removing the system and any interior not needed anyways
