well...since he's a "friend"...see if he can get you some different back ones. only thing i can think of is somehow he put them in backwards, with the ones for the front on the back...making it sit higher because of the higher spring rate.

Just buy coilovers, and you will end the nightmare.

coilovers are definitely the way to go..a little hard work and you can find some very reasonably priced these days, even on a tight budget..
