Default Suspension install......

I helped my friend install tokico blue shocks and ground control coilovers on his 95 GSR but it just doesnt seem to want to lower to much. In the back we have it about 8 threads from the bottom of the sleeve where you adjust the height and its tucking about a quarter inch and looks good. In the front though its about 2 threads from being as low as it can go and there is still about a 2 finger gap. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on here? i know the front springs are in the front and the back ones are in the back .... because we put them in wrong and it looked like a dragster. So any feedback on this matter would be much appreciated. Maybe im just stupid and didnt do something. The bumpstops we used were the stock ones cut in half if that makes any differnce. Someone please help me out! Thanks!

The sleeves are also front/back specific. Try swapping those. The front ones are usually longer.

could i take the ones on the front and just flip them upside down. there is a space from the shock to where the threads are of like an inch. So if i turned them unside down then it would just have that space on top and everything would be fine, right?
