are you sure you put the front springs on the front and the rear springs on the rear and not visa versa?

looks to me as though you forgot the washers or put them in wrong on the tophats. Doesnt look like the suspension is holding the car up at all. Ive never seen Tein springs that low. It also looks like your pass wheel is pushed very far backward. Jack up that side and make sure you bolted everything up right.

These ares are very simple so you messed up somewhere putting this all together

Passenger side suspension is way messed up, and your tire and rim size is much bigger than stock

Let me guess, no money for an alignment
