Default Check this out!!!

I got to thinking to day and went to look under my car (because the front is extremely low with the perches as high as they can go and the back is more than an inch higher and the perch is only half-way up the coilover)are the front springs on the back and the back springs on the front.....anyway i was looking at how the springs were compressed and the front ones were compressed pretty much all the way,coils touching each other,i figured this could be why i am having the knocking noise in the front left because of my added weight!! Could the reason i cant get my front any higher be because the springs are mixed up....???????
*i have ground control coilovers on kyb gr-2's(not blown) on a civic with 215/35/18's the tire size doesnt have anything to do with springs compression

take the springs off, stand them up next to eachother. if you went with normal GC springs (not custom rates) the long ones go in front. if you went custom, and got different lengths, the long ones go in front. if the springs are all the same length, you have other problems.

How do you fit that tire in there? But have you tried swaping the front an rears yet?
