Default Sometime Low is TOO LOW!

Oh boy.... I just finished the lowering spring and bushing install on my son's 94-waaay to low. Actually, it looks like a combination of too low, camber kit and wheel offset. The result is unsafe at any speed. Can't really turn without rubbing-I haven't been able to drive it far enough to see if the shocks are bottoming. Back to the drawing board. My son bought all these parts w/o thinking about how they would work together.

Although the springs on the rear have had almost no effect. It doesn't appear to have dropped at all. That doesn't make sense to me. Any thots?

Couldn't be that easy-almost made that mistake already but fronts are longer than rears and can't be put in wrong unless you really work at it.

they are wrong!
beleive me
i had the same thing happen to me.EXACT same
the stocks that come out are longer in the front, and shorter in the back!
for aftermarket lowering ones its opposite.
short in FRONT long in rear..
this is because the front is stiffer to hold the weight of the engine.
belive me i did the entire swap twice in one day!
