Default droped car with 1"

i just got my car drop today but the back is lower than it suppose too, i have 17x7 and with 235 on, and i only have a 25/ inch space left between the wall of the tire and the fender, is this normal or my struts are just worn out? could someone help me out, it looks nice but im on 17 and a 1" drop and im getting rubbing. do you guys think its my struts?

Shocks have no effect on ride height. The springs are the cause.

****ing megan racing springs they were suppose to be 1" drop its more like a damn 2 or 3 inch, i went for a test drive right now and i can even take off hard cause the rear tires would hit the outer fender when my car leans back, damn my only solution is put my stock one for the back back on

larger doesnt necessarily mean rear, check the spring for a F and a R. are the springs sitting in the shock flush. they might have not put them in locking into the strut.
