Default VBP front coil spring replacement question

As per VBP instruction sheet I installed top of spring (460lb) in its correct location. When lower A-arm is raised into position and spring is seated it does not line up in the same location as the original spring. Any suggestions?

I installed same springs on mine.
Maybe your spring have moved during compression.
I had the same issue on one side and needed to dredo the job.

Here's a thread where Dan from Vansteel answered my question about this a while back: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1592893

I just realized that you have the 460# and I had the 550# though so maybe it's different.
