Default Installed 2.5" Sprint drop Springs only to have my car lifted to stock hieght. PLEASE HELP!!! ( I HA

I Recently installed the 2.5" Drop springs on my 00 Civic Si. I have done many spring installations with no problems. For some reason After installing these springs I have like a 3 finger gap wich is not cool. the bumpstops are cut and the dust covers have been removed. Anyone have any idea of whats going on?!?!?!?!

You may have accidentally switched the front and rear springs around.
