Default H&R OE Sport Springs KYB AGX Installed - Seems Kinda Low.. Did I Install Right?

Car: 98 Integra GSR
Springs: H&R OE Sport Springs
Shocks: KYB AGX Shocks

Problem: Seems Kind of Low in the Front. I have about 1 finger gap.
Research: Most people on HT say they have 2 to 2 1/2 finger gap.

I installed the shock spring combo in this order (top to bottom):

1. Lock Nut (new - provided by kyb)
2. Nut (new - provided by kyb)
3. Washer (new - provided by kyb)
4. Rubber Donut
5. Shock ASsembly Top Hat Mount
6. 1" Long Metal Tube (used to connect the 2 rubber donuts - provided by kyb)
7. Rubber Donut
8. Washer
9. Metal Piston Dust Cover
10. Washer (sits on the shocks piston to hold piston dust cover)
11. Bump Stop
12. Shock Body

Was this in the right order? Am I missing anything?

The top of the AGX piston, where the two nuts hold everything together, comes up around 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" to into the engine bay. Is that normal?

Can someone post a side pic of their car with the same setup? or close up of any portion mentioned?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That sounds like you did everything right, although I dont remember the two nuts on top of the piston. Everything that is crucial sounds like its in place. Is it even front to back?? They may have given you the wrong part number. Maybe H&R race by mistake??
