Are the springs reversed?

I had a shop do that to me with my GSR and it had the same symptoms. Front springs were installed in the rear and rear were in front.

what length are the springs? typically you use 8" in the front and 7s in the back.

if you bought some second hand set you need to know your rates and your lengths

which slot do you have the c-clip on the shock body in? It serves as the lower mounting point for the coilover sleeve. There are 3 slots, spaced like an inch apart (from memory) move the C-clip up to the top slot. You can do it with the shocks on the car, just slide the sleeve up out of the way with the wheels off the ground.
