Maybe I am having a brain fart, but that pic is really disturbing

On my KW coilovers I have 1/2" or more spaces between each spring coil.

Your spring is all compressed and your car looks too high in the back.
It looks like you got the wrong springs.

That's does NOT look right.

I have Eibach ProKit and I just went and checked mine and I also have about .5 inch in between the springs.

Bad install maybe????? or wrong Springs.......?????

Whether the spring is fully loaded or fully unloaded, it seems to me there should be even spaces between each "turn" of the steel... not compressed on one end and way open on the other!

Something definitely is wrong there... big time!

You guys think it could just be the angle the pic was taken from?

Cool
If it walks like a duck..... ...something is not right unless that is the top part of the spring and even with that it looks like it is the wrong size... don't forget, thank a Vet.

Looks like a progressive rate spring to me, just a poor shot IMO, take your wheels off and take some more pics for us
