Default Ground contol coilover kit q's

i just got them installed on sat with 0' drop...but the car is lowered still...the rear wheels have no wheel gap and the front has less than 1 inch...(15 in rims)

Is it supposed to be dropped that much??? because the bottom have been hitting so many things on sunday that now i have a sqeal when i turn the steering wheel...

it was adjusted by the mechanic already....that was the problem.. the disc was raised to the top to get the highest adjustability...

Your springs are probably too short.
Look on the springs they have a number like 1000.250.0400 the first number (or maybe last) is the length of the spring. In this case this is a 10" long by 2.5" diameter spring with a rate of 400 lbs/in.

It's gotta be the springs, mine are an inch from the top and I have a 1" drop front and 1/2" drop rear.
