Default suspension not going to full droop?

hey guys,

I was trying to pull my spring/shock combo out of my 00 civic when I couldn't get it out! I came to the conclusion that the suspension is not going to full droop. When I was taking off the bottom shock-to-LCA bolt, as soon as I popped the bolt out the spring shot out its remaining tension. Is this being caused by my camber kit? Man I wish I would have listened to you guys and not have gotten this stupid camber kit.

here is a video to help you guys out a little, sorry about the beginning I got a lil carried away lol.

you got to drop your rotor...the thing that your fork is hitting can be pushed down towards the ground to get the fork out of there

hmm, I don't see that being a problem, but why would I have to do that and no one else does? in all of the DIY's nobody seemed to encounter this problem. The car has not been in an accident of any kind either...
