Installing my Skunk2 coilovers on my car, stock shocks. Got that bitch all back together, set all the coilovers to the top, back looks fine (kinda looks low actually) but the fron 2 wheels are jacked WAYY up. i'd say a good 5-7 inches. You push on the front end and it will BARELY go down maybe a centimeter, no movement at all. We can't figure out what went wrong.... btw, came with no instructions. We cut the bumpstops and all that ****. DO we have to do anything to the dust covers? Anyone have any clue what could be wrong....?
also, if anyone knows where i can find instrcutions that would help, or if someone wants to scan them
thanks

Ok there are these black sleeve thing's inbetween the Spring and the strut. Take em out if there still in there!

If you move the coilovers to the bottom, the car will lower. If you raise the coilovers to the top, the car will rise. If you have both front tires jacked up you will have an easier time turning the coilover. Same for the rear. If their not both lifted up you will have hell trying to spin the coilover. Something to do with the weight transfer on your springs.

Try counting the treads from the bottom to get an even drop. That should help.

Even with the skunk2's all the way up, it shouldn't set that high, mine did not when I installed them (all the way up). Is your spring going up into the black rings properly, sometimes they will get hung on the ring, and then pop into place.

I have skunk2's and the instructions book. If you left the dust cover in, you should remove them. The instructions say to leave them out. Hope this helps.
