Default Coilovers not sitting level

Well I have koni ground control coilovers on my 99 civic coupe. In the back it sits lower on one side then the other.

I have the one side as low as it can go and it has 2 finger gap, the other still has about an inch or two of threads to go down and its tucking tire? What is going on...

Thanks in advance

How long ago did you put them on?
If you did it recently, let the suspension settle.

I don't think it needs to settle with that kind of difference. I would check to make sure everything is seated right. Did you compare the struts before you put them on? Are they the same? Is everything put together properly?
