when u have coilover springs suspension, and it is up to u to decide how low you want your car to be by using the specific wrench to adjust the height of your car.
and skunk2 suspension is a good set

Also is my coilover not reaching the top hat normal since the spring is smaller than the shock itself?

most people will count the "rings" on the coilovers so that it's even all around - as far as how low to lower it, just find a picture of a car with a drop that you like; whether its tucking lots of tire or just a little bit of tire, etc etc. and then lower your car til it looks like the one in the picture
