Question Eibach Springs - Pro Kit

just like the title, yesterday I got the new spring on my 8...but...
The rear is lowered as expected
The FRONT is "RAISED" even higher than stock...

Help...did someone experienced it the same way?
and how to make it right...

Turn your wheels all the way to the left. Loosen the upper a-arm bolts that you can reach. There are 2 on each side (17mm). Once you loosen the 2 bolts you can reach, turn your wheels to the right and loosen the other 2 bolts. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLTS. Just loosen them a little to take the tension off the bushings. Drive the car forward at least a few feet and drive it back a few feet. Do that a couple of times, then push the front of the car up and down a few times.

Tighten the bolts back up and the car should be significantly lower. Search the site for preloading for more info.
