lowering problem....help!!

I just lowered my car with the prokit. And man...the back sits about 1/2-1 inch lower than the front. Is there something I can do to make it more even. I took my car to two place to check is the springs were installed correctly. Can I install some kind of ring type spring raiser of somesort? The cool thing is that it rides very well. Just pretty ugly when the back sags.

the prokits should have taken care of the gap differences since it lowers the car more in the front than the rear. i have the prokits and i think it did a great job at that, but sometimes i do think the front gap is slightly bigger than the rears (real slight though).

I think you have the rear spring installed at the front and vice versa.

What are the controller arms? I don't have a system in the trunk and I know the springs were installed correctly.

Can you take any pics? I dont remember anyone with prokits having this problem. If you cant take pics park the car on level ground and measure from bottom of fender to top of tire for both front and back and post the results.
The one thing i really like about my Comptechs is that the front is alot lower than the back.
