HELP. are my springs installed wrong?????
a few months ago i had
Tein h tech springs
Tokico blue hp shocks
Installed front and rear.
Ride has been very bumpy compared to stock.
Today i looked at rear spring through wheels and doesnt look right??
The top of the spring is so compressed and the rubber sleeve is not at the top?
Please advise

I didnt install myself, had a suspension shop do it.
I thought the rubber sleeve has to be at top.
More importantly though why are there 4 coil rounds at the top which are so close together....

Those rubber sleeves are to prevent squeaks and vibrations from the coils compressing over bumps. It is normal.
If you expect an OEM-like ride, you should not have bought springs that lower the car's ride height. Because you are lower, the springs have to be stiffer in order to keep from bottoming out and such. The coils at the top are normal.
