i have these... you're springs are backwards. you do not need to pre-load springs. and bushings pre-loaded do not affect ride height.

lowering springs dont need preloading, cuz it serves its purpose, ur rubbing cuz the spring rate on the springs suck and the ride height, i don't use ASDs anymore cuz of that reason, you can roll your fenders in the rear after you get your alignment, theres nothing you can do about it in the front.

Mine have a little bit bigger gap in the rear than the front. A little more than 1 finger in the rear, about 3/4 finger in the front. I preloaded all four corners.

I installed mine about 2 months ago. I think they're pretty settled, they went down only a little bit after install. I have about a half to a 1 finger gap on all 4 sides.

These are the best pics I could find on my work laptop.

Hmm .. i am still getting different results. Some say the rear is higher vise versa.

My rears are pretty much on top of the tire .. so I dont know what the problem is .. the fronts are settled.

you aren't even suppose to align it the first couple weeks you get them in. I say wait longer and drive the thing (400+ miles) then get an alignment. if your fronts are still higher then its A-O-K since all the people I know are in the same situation as I am. I guess its only a select few that get perfect drops. Well you get what you paid for, i'm planning to upgrade to coilovers when I have a couple more thousand miles on my odometer.
