I have two sets of coilover they are both new so i don't think there has been any tampering to it. Everything seems fine

seems odd that you are having issues going lower. i know of people that can tuck the tire with tein flex.

are you overtightening the control arms while it's up in the air that it's stuck at that height?

hmm... that would be weird because both sides are the same exact length. And the front can be slammed

Ok, I gotta ask...........do you have the front ones on the back and the back ones on the front? If you did that would explain it.

no i have more common sense than that -_- I tried 2 different sets of coilovers, referring to my first post with the pictures , the two on the left are in the front coilovers and the two in the right are the rear sets.

Did you check the part numbers if they are correct for your car? I'm assuming you got these used?

Did you preload the front and rear suspension during install?
