it kinda looks like this, maybe the guy that installed my springs didn't cut the front bump stops?

Your first problem is that you let someone else install your springs. It is quite possible that they didn't cut the bump stops. Not a hard thing to do but it does require you to take the whole thing apart again.



In order:
Mirror Tint|Grillcraft grill|SprilMax|GST Exhaust|Front/Rear strut bars|EBC brakes|Brembo Crossdrill/slotted rotors|AEM CAI|NGK Plugs|Magnecor Wires|Konig VeloCT 17x7|Niitto 450's|55mmTB|

Next:Custom Short Shifter

did you get prokits.. if so.. thats just the way they work for our cars.. i didnt like it.. and so i changed it up so that the rear sat a bit higher.. and as far as i know the bumpstops will have no effect on ride hight unless you got likd 2.5-3in drop springs.. where then perhaps you may be riding on your bumpstops.. but if you were i would think you would know it.

Its not that it is sitting higher. Its just that the front fender well is taller.
