Trying to lower a squatted civic. I replaced upper and lower control arms as well as struts and tie rod ends. I now have 5" of clearance between tire and fender well in the front. I originally compressed lower control arm with jack while.on jack stands and no prevail. I've tried different struts and the put the old strut back in. I cannot get the car to drop. All parts resemble old ones taken off. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
