Default Skunk2 Spring Issue

ok i recently bought a set of skunk2 lowering springs (2.5 front 2.25 rear) when i installed these for some reason my car came out higher in the front and slammed in the rear? i have the springs on right and i called the people who i bought the springs from and they told me that the way skunk2's are and that they will settle in acouple weeks..but i can almost put my whole hand under my fender up front and cant even get a hand under my rear..anyone else have this problem with skunk2 or is there somthin im missin..had these springs before and never had this problem

Either you mixed the springs up, (front and back) or they sent you the wrong ones. There is no way that the suspension is going to "settle" that much. When it settles, it probably drops an additional 1/4" to 1/2" at the most.
