I wish I could facepalm in the thread title.

Anyways, I installed my coilovers backwards. Short on the front, long on the back. Now it looks like some sort of dragster Miata gone wrong.

Just thought I'd share my knowledge and warn people:
SHORT ON BACK, LONG ON FRONT.

That is all.

Did you not look at how they came off? Or did you not run into issues? I can't imagine getting the longer shock body on the rear without some serious cussing and big tools to pry with.
