How long have they been on for ? Might take time to settle ? And if you just put them on and the car has not moved, make sure your parking brake is off.

I could have sworn I saw a post like this a little while ago and the guy had the front springs on the back and had the same prob. Double check that.

Did you leave the stock dust covers on? I know on my car with the KYB's the dust covers press fit to the shock and I did not get any suspension travel.

Make sure that the springs are in their respective places. Might be resting on bumpstops, maybe?

Yeah, I thought I really screwed something up when I jacked the car up and the wheels didn't drop. I still have not taken the time to find a legit replacement for the covers.
