Default pfadt install problem

hey guys can you help me out with this i installed the coilovers today. i didnt touch the spring perch and went with what the lower clevice was from pfadt just made sure both sides were the same. after lower the car from lift it was 1.5" higher. took it apart and screwed the rear clevices to what we thought was proper hieght. then went to the front and did the same. problem is i ran out of travel for the lower cup. it bottomed out on the shock. at that point it was late and shop was closing so i buttoned it up at that level. it is about stock height in front and is lower in rear... i am guessing the spring perches
are in the wrong spot? does this sound correct? thanks for any help.

I have an older style, but every Pfadt shock I've seen has adjustment on the perch and where the body mounts to the lower mount. It's probably just a matter of un-adjusting some of what you've done, and adjusting it at the other adjustment. Call them next week, and they can help you get back to starting point and clear up where to adjust.
