Default Dang coilover problems

I've lowered my car down with ground control coils and agx struts , and i also have ssr rear lca's . Now when i do this my driver side coil ring is like half way up and the passenger side is the whole way at the bottom and yet the driver side is still lower. This is the second car i've had these on and the first car also did this , never could figure out why . What could possibly make this happen? These struts have less than 3000 miles on them and they never bottomed out. when i raise and lower the car the lca bushings also making a sound , like a sqealing , kinda how ungreased bushings make , can they cause the car to not settle right if they were installed wrong , if thats possible. Any imput would greatly be appreciated.

did you cut your bump stock or set the spring right because I think ground control have different spring for the back and the front

Yeah i followed the directions and the springs have the same numbers on them . I didn't preload the control arms when i put them on , would that cause the car to not settle right , if the bushing is on a bind maybe? But whats weird is my last car did the same thing, the fronts seam fine , just the back is messed up

also check the bump stops you might be riding on the bump stop and they are breaking un evenly

I'll check that stuff . Another thing i remembered was when i bought this stuff the coils came with some little cylinders that went in place of the washers that are the first thing that goes on the strut shaft before all the top pieces, does it matter if i use the stock ones or the ones that came with the coils?
