    did you by any chance put the ones for the rear in the front.

    lift up the car with a hydralic jack and drop it at a moderate speed , that might work , worked for me....

    Are you using coil-overs? And if so, did you tighten them down afterwards?

    :-/ just a thought

    jack the car up and look to make sure the ones in the front are the larger spring ,,meaning the circumfrence<<<hope i spelled that right,,,, of the spring NOT how tall it is ,the fatter springs belong on the front,,but if u got em bassakwards you would know cuz the front would be hammered and the rear would be jacked up pretty high
