Ok the question you posted doesnt make much cents, how is it possible to not have struts just springs. Did you by the car on blocks? What brand of springs do you have? What is the problem(ex:Q)the spring dont go on the strut.A)you need a spring compressor).

What I can say is the front springs are bigger than the rear ya know more weight in the front of the car(engine). To get the front lower you have to buy the springs with you desired height which sounds like your looking for a 2 inch drop which is on its balls. Are you sure you want that, driveability sucks. And why would you want it lower if you havent even got the springs on the car.

"back fit but the front dont....the front springs are huge compared to the back and there is no strut just a spring as to where the back had a strut...is there anyway to get the front lower???"

Try re-wording your question you might get more of a responses.

ok all i wanted was the car to be even.....the coilovers fit the back but not the front....and the front does have just a spring,unless the strut is behind it and i cant see it....i just wanted to kno if i could make the coilovers work instead of having two extra coilovers and springs.....didn't wanna buy springs for just the front but i guess now thats the only way....i didnt want to slam it on its balls just a little lower, thats why i bought adjustable coilovers and not springs..so if it was too low i could make it higher

The front has a strut on which the spring is seated (on both sides).
