HELP!!! Tenzo R coilovers bouncey. And wont lower all the way in the front. Spring Rates?

I just put on my Tenzo R sleeve coilovers and new KYB GR-2 shocks/struts. Its so bouncey and I dont know what is wrong? Did I put the wrong springs in the front where the ones in the back should be? I put the O rings in too. The one thing that I can remember about the spring rate numbers on the shock is one had .006 and one had .008. I know what they are sposed to feel like but these are bouncey.

And the front of the car will not lower like it should. I have the perches on like the bottom of them and there is still like 2.5 - 3.0 inches between the tire and the fender. But I can slam the ones on the back to tuck the rear tires.

Thanks for the help

it's probably becuase they are tenzo-r springs...and I'm not just trying to be a dick, I'm actually serious.

nice time to think about all the specifics of a suspension package AFTER YOU bought all of it.

Fixed it. It was riding on dust covers. And that combination of KYB GR-2's and Tenzo R coilovers are great. Rides great and handles great for $300.00

But for 300.00 and if a KYB goes bad I am like 15 mins. away from advance {Lifetime Warrenty}. Plus it rides good and I saved like 400.00 from full coilovers and I am not going to drift it or even put it on a track.
