Default I can't slam my ef!

So I got a new set of coils for my ef and the rear fit
perfect. But I can't seem to slam the front. I lowered the coilover as much as I could and still need to go down about half a inch for it to be flush. I'm tucking in the rear with like a inch of adjustment left and want to tuck the front but it won't let me go lower. Any suggestions or ideas on what might be wrong?

What kind of coil overs did you buy?

I'm sure you're aware of the issues that 'slamming' causes. Assuming you still want to go ahead with that:
1. Normal for a civic rear to be adjusted higher than the front
2. Set the front at the lowest, then adjust the rear up to make it level
3. If this isn't low enough, start cutting the front springs or relocate the front spring perch on the shocks assuming you are using sleeves and not actual coilovers
