Icon2 maxtrac coilover problem. HELP!?

Hi guys im from south africa i fitted a set of maxtrac coilovers because my shocks were messed up badly, which i paid my *** off for and still had a problem once it was fitted.
before it was fitted, i assembled it and messured it making sure it was all the same height and on its highest(Once it was in then i would adjust it lower) but once it was in I then noticed that the rear was the original height and the front was extremely low,like no finger space. when i drive over pot holes then it knocks hard i can even feel it lol
So now i would like to know if maybe the front coils are too weak because of the weight of the motor and should i replace them with stronger coils and keep the shock? i need help and i cant afford to buy original shocks n coils it already cost me 5k to get this coilovers. things are way over priced over here in South Africa.

Post a picture of the coilovers, bru. We can take a look at the layout and advise you better. That's not really a well known brand in the states.

Thats what it looks like bru. i really think that springs are too weak, like what if i get a set of original springs, will that maybe help? im hoping it will solve the problem cause my car suspension is busy getting worn because of this bru. tyres are worn already because of it.

Ah. What do you mean when you say you have it all the way raised? Like...no more threads available? Or just that you're touching the tender springs?

Lol no worries, my friend. You should take pictures of how you have yours set up. They're probably just set too low.
