I just got done installing Cedar ridge suspension kit with dali swaybars and koni shocks with eibach springs. I don't know where i went wrong but it seems as if my front is sitting higher then the rear now. There is more wheel gap in the front then rear and measuring from the jack point down it also confirms that the front is 1/4 - 1/2 inch higher. The rear is not quite 5 inches off the ground and the front is slightly more then 5. I think i have seen posts like this before but was not able to find them in search. I don't think the rear is to low i think the issue is the front is to high because it does not even seem to be lower.
 
First of all be more specific. Did you get larger wheels/tires. I had the same issue a weaks back. You have to allow your suspension to settle. The rear will settle faster bc of the weight of the engine. The front will catch up. after about a month my rear is still lower then the front, only by 1/8" but it was almost at 1/2" when I installed 18/19. Also please specify where your measuring from, I'm guessing from the jack points.

Lol just read your original post again, it is from the jack points, I apologize too many long islands.

Same wheels i have ran for over a year and yes from the jack points I took it out for a drive across speed bumps and what not to try to see if it settled but it didn't move. maybe it just need some more time. I still need an alignment but i don't really want to waste my time doing that if it is not sitting correctly. Wheels are 17/18 and i believe the diameter is same as stock over all but don't know tire specs off tops of my head i will have to look tomorrow

Yah I checked my measurements again today, and finally after 2months my front is lower at the jack points, I'm at 3 5/8" in the front and 3.75" in the rear. I was at 4" in the front at initial install. So it took 2months for my car to settle and about 250miles of driving.. so I think you should wait and drive some more before calling it a problem.
