did you install the correct springs on the front? The fronts and rears are different springs.

my logo was upside down too. I found out later that the springs were in the wrong way. Meaning that the fronts were supposed to be in the back and vice versa.
The car never sat right with those springs. One end was always too high up. I left mine with the back higher up. My friend had his with the front higher up.
It should have lowered the car significantly, though. Unless you allready had lowering springs that you didn't know about or something.
Did you clock all the bushings? If you didn't, then that might be causing a little bit of lift. This will also weaken/tear the bushings later.

try to preload the suspension… put the front of the car on jack stands and take off your front wheels. now loosen all the bolts you tightened when doing the suspension the first time. when everything is loose lift up the car a couple inches off the jack stands using a jack underneath the control arm. once you have it off the jack stand a couple inches tighten all the bolts down. this preloads the suspension, do this on all 4 corners. this solves this type of issue for a lot of people. using the wrong springs between the front and rear woulnt make it only drop a half inch.
