what kind of springs did you get?
make sure its sitting in its perch properly, try check the coes are the same. also might have to settle in a little bit

Don't cut them!! It will be near impossible to get a perfect level ride height and very dodgy if you do so.
How much you grab them for anyway ?

are you sure they are right front to back?
you might have a front one int eh back or vice versa

springs usually take some time to settle. give it a week or 2 maybe and see if it all settles. otherwise they may have been installed incorrectly as mentioned above^^

I thought the suspension always had an allowance for the drivers weight.
I'm not sure about aftermarket though.

tried settling them in..... done a few stupid laps on the cumberland hwy... Nothing...
The springs came with shocks and they were marked nsf/osf etc.
i might try swapping them around... will the front springs fit on the back???

I would be checking the codes on the springs first. if there second hand springs? they should be settled in already. ask the previous owner if he had the problem. ( besides the fact they might be sitting high because you jacked your car up but a quick spirt down the street should settle the shock back into place)
If there new springs that somehow came with shocks, i would still be checking the code to make sure you didnt get one low and one super lower etc.

I was just about to say that..
May be you got 2 different ones.. one is low and may me super low.
Check with seller and confirm it that is the right ones.
