I think front and rear springs are different size
maybe you installed the front ones in rear and rear springs in the front????
double check!!!

That happened to me as well. After 2 years with it like that, I am taking out the lowering springs at the end of the month and replacing them with coilovers. That will fix it.

It did settle somewhat, but I still notice it. I am not sure if anyone else notices it, but I know it's there.
