Higher than normal after OEM springs installed.
I finally raised the car back up with my 08 G sedan OEM springs. Somehow it seems to be MUCH higher than normal and it has been a month after the installation.
I took some pictures and starting to wonder if these springs are the right ones.
Tried doing some researches on the springs color code but no luck. Anyone could give some feed back?
help!!! LoL

Did you properly clock the bushings?
Whenever ride height is changed, you need to reclock them. Otherwise they can add excess effective spring rate and ride height (or the opposite). That would also stress and stretch the bushings, causing them to fail prematurely.
The process is loosen every jount with a rubber bushing, upper and lower control arm pivot bolts, lower shock mount, and in the rear, toe arm pivot. Then place jack under lower control arm, and lift that corner off the jack stand. You just want it to barely unweight it, not lift it inches off. Then tighten the joints.
The idea is to only tighten the bushing oivot when that corner is at ride height of its travel.
