What the hell is wrong with my car
Measure all 4 spring lengths
make sure the front springs are in the front shocks and the rear springs are in the rear shocks. they'll probably fit in either, so that might be the problem

the diametre of the "wire" looks massive, that can't possibly be a rear spring. sure looks like a front one to me.
this diametre of the wire in spring looks like the proper size for a rear

remember, with your sway bar in there, the driver's side will be helping hold up the passenger side, so with the proper spring in there, both sides should drop, tho because the sway bar does twist, the driver's side will drop more, and you'll be sittin' pretty.

teins dont have a separate perch for spring preload.
i still dont know what the hype about tein is all about. they dont preload and the shock bodies are steel. theyre heavy and they rust like hell.
I would have said to check if the endlinks were reinstalled properly, but those are huge gaps. Doesn't even look like you have coilovers.
I noticed some of the letters on the shock body. What do the letters read?
I think I see "JZS...". Hopefully they are not for a JZS147 1GS Aristo.

Matt is it just the rear, or is the front doing it also? Pull everything off and check the coils and everything under the car. I'd come over and help you out, but it's an 18 hour drive back home.
im 100% SURE THEY ARE HR's I was told they came off a supra. my ebay nex coilovers did this but it wasnt as bad, iv never had a problem with the front. I havnt had time to look at it im going to take the car to a friends shop and see whats wrong if something is wrong with the cars chassis im going to pull everything off the car and get a MKIV.
i also looked into the carfax and its all clear.

I have the NEX kit and my car is slammed and I can still go lower. I dont see how the chassis would cause aftermarket coilovers to raise the car. I would think if something was wrong the stockers would have shown the same.









looks like you have suspension off an aristo, which uses a longer shock than soarer, supra.
