Drop problems

i have a 92 accord lx and i finally got to lower it last week with KYB AGX struts and eibach prokit springs. When i got the car off the jacks it was looking like it had a nice amount of drop, looking very low but now it seemed to raise and it's only .4" lower than the stock height, plus the car is leaning a bit to the right. i've double cheked the whole setup and it looks fine to me. what could be wrong ? i need some help. this is driving me crazy

ok, so you say its a .4" drop? do you mean 4 inches? or 4-tenths of an inch? also, make sure the springs are in right, and that they are sitting in the spring cups properly.

could adjusting the struts lower the car at all? and like duatone said, check to make sure the shocks are in correctly. when i first put mine in, they sat lower than stock, but after a little while they got more worn in and seemed to lower a little bit more. not the other way around.

my "slomatic" lowered with the springs wearing out. sort of looks like a funny car cause the front is lower than the back. haha :bandit:
