Default put stock springs on and they didnt higher my car(HELP)!!

-I have a 1992 civic vx.
-When i bought the car, it was was lowered on eibach pro-kit.
-It came with stock springs.
-I sold the eibach prokit in favor of some coilovers.
-I had the coilovers on stock shocks for around 7 months now.
-Today, i attempted to put my stock springs back on because i am selling my car. Everything went good. i used a spring compressor to compress the spring and made sure that i assembled the strut correctly.
-Here lies the problem. When i dropped the car on the floor, it actually made the car lower. i also got some crazy JDM camber.. even tho i have a camber kit.
- I drove around for about 5 minutes on the bumpiest rodes i could find and nothing... car was still the same height.

my questions is... could this be because of blown shocks or is something else causing it. i checked over the springs and made sure that they were never cut or treated with heat to lower it on purpose... help me out guys.

thanks in advance.

edit: i really screwed up on the title..

The person you bought the car from just gave you the springs along with it? Chances are they gave you the wrong spirngs (probably CRX)... If you don't mind spending a few dollars, you should call up http://www.importautosalvage.com or http://www.hmotorsonline.com and buy a cheap set of OEM springs from the correct chassis...

sounds like springs to me, you might have them switched front to back or something.
