Rear Sitting Lower Than Normal?

Its possible that the installer didnt remove the rubber spacers in the front, they are good for a least 1/4" in height. This is how my car came out originally too. When the car was in for the alignment, I had the spacers removed and came out perfect Good luck!
Where are these rubber spacers you are reffering to? At the top of the spring or the bottom? Also, There were 2 square rubber blocks that had a notch out of them were a spring coil might go, they came with the springs and my guy said he did not use them. He thought they were intended to stop the springs from grinding. Were these intended to go into the rear springs to stop them sagging?

Does anyone know where these rubber spacers are in the front the guy mentioned? Does this sound possible? If so please explain where they are and how to get to them!

The spacers on my car (don't know if yours is the same) were in between the top of the spring and spring cup which holds the top of the spring (perch). The black round spacer just pulls off of the bottom away from the metal, looks like a smashed donut or large rubber washer. Hope this helps...

There is no noise to speak of. My springs actually have a plastic/rubber sleeve around the metal which prevents noise.
The shop that did the alignment actually suggested it to correct the same problem you are having.
Glad to help bro and good luck!

Does anyone else know if it's ok to remove these rubber spacers from the front spring perch? I was having the alignment done today and told the guy about this issue. He said he would not remove them. Please let me know to leave them or remove them.
Thanks, RUSS
