Your cars handling probably looks and feels ridiculous doesn't it? Stock ride height in the back and stock springs. You are probably understeering reeaeeally bad now, right? I think you should have waited to put them on. Let's see some pics of the ride height now. How are you going to find 2 rear coilovers? You don't see too many of those floating around. I don't know if it's the view, but the front jackstand seems to be in the wrong space. Don't wanna be bending anything. Can't tell for sure though.

Every once in a while a rear set comes up for sale on eBay...

It does look like it's further back then it should be, but he's also got the jack under there, so that's probably why.

While $220 sounds great for 1/2 set of coilovers and camber plates... good luck finding something that matches for the rear! Keep in mind that with this kind of a setup, you'll have a VERY hard time on the track, simply due to the mismatching setup. may suit you well for the street, but before you go to any serious track events, I'd recommend getting a more "proper" suspension setup.

i'm with adey on this one. who knows though, you might get lucky and score some rear HRs.
