you bought shitty springs, thats the problem

if you want more drop just take the adjustable part out and run the spring, or just save your money, sell the ebay shit and put your stockers back on before you blow your stock shocks i'm assuming you're still on, and get some good drop springs and some good shocks

Sound advice...It is better to wait a little longer and save that extra coin to get top of the line product then no-name crap 99% of the time. My guess is that you have learned your lesson now as we all have.

Did you use the rubber or aluminum top hat that came with the coilover setup?
If so, either take it out or reinstall it sitting above the shock set washer, That should fix your problem.

Any shock where the coil spring fits "over" the shock is a coilover.
Adjustable coilovers allow you to adjust the ride height.

You might run the adjusters up and that will raise the body for more tire clearance. If you want the tires to clear..............

If you want to bring it by, I can show you how to fix it.
no charge.-Bob

You will probably need a camber kit to keep your tires from
being eaten, and probably re-aligned.
