Default Ride height question

Hey guys I have a quick question for you gurus out there. I am fairly new to suspension and just have a question about my ride height. I used to be dropped on Skunk2 coilover sleeves with OEM shocks. I was really slammed. All four tires were tucked under the fenders etc. I recently just put in Skunk2 sport shocks to match the coils and the ride height changed up front. The front of the car raised up maybe about 2 inches. My tires aren't tucked under the fenders up front anymore. Is this normal for that to happen? Think I possibly installed something wrong? Will the suspension settle and the car will drop more? ANy suggestions/input would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Did you install the front forks correctly?




And as I'm sure others will point out......get a better setup.

The suspension should never settle. If it does seem to settle, there was a failure during installation (failure to clock bushings or seat shocks in forks).
