Tein Basis installed not low enough? (pics)

So i recently bought tein basis from marcus at heeltoe, great guy btw, but when i installed them the fronts were good in terms of height but the rears still didnt look all that lower... tell me what you guys think.. unless im doing something wrong..





dirty i know.. This is with the springs compressed from what it looks like is all the way but im not 100% on that..



And the whole car pic




so the lesson here is if this is as low as it really goes in the end, spend the extra $200-$300 for the next step up on coils if you want to go real low..

1.Did you buy the basics already to install, meaning they were pre-assembled
for install? and you did not assembled them yourself, IE:tophats.

2. Did the coils come with wrenches?

3.On your 1st pic under the spring you have 2 threaded adjusters that you
put the wrench on that should have come with the coils. Loosen the bottom
adjuster down and then move the top adjuster down to the 1st and that will
lower car down.

It's really that simple.

looks like you installed them at their full height. they are adjustable and you need to use those wrenches to lower the car
