Default Whats the problem here???

Just got finished installing my KYB's and Skunk2 coilovers, and this is the result of my magic. I dont know if I just need to lower the front, or is my dumb self put the wrong coils on the wrong shocks. What do you all think?

Did you release the e-brake to let the springs settle into their normal positions?

If not, you definitely did something wrong...

The thumbnaol is a picture of what came with the KYB shocks. Im thinking the shocks are just not compressing, like they are stuck in the highest compressed position.

Everyone!!! I think i know the problem now. I put the dust covers on the KYB's that came off my old struts. HAHA the damn dust covers are restricting the shocks from lowering after the jack is removed. The dust cover is basically holdimg the car up. Its stuck up under the wheel well. Man the simple things I tell you what. Im definately not a professional.
