Is the back lowered already? Did you align the front spring properly in the control arm?

The back springs are on as far as aligning i would imagine so i put the springs 1/4 in away from the coil holder as they recommended i checked like 5 times to make sure there in right. Actually now that im looking at it i dont think i have the bottom isolaters on the front they where all dry rotted could this be my problem? Would it make it sit so low.

I do not have the bottom isolators on the front either, and mine does not sit that low.
Double check to make sure the bottom end of the coil is in between the alignment holes in the control arm.
It is the pro-kit you have, not the sportline right?
