the fronts might not be sitting in there holes right they might need to be turned, do you still have the Isolaters in the rear if you don't you can put those back in and it would level it out.

Did you get the Sportlines they are the best made, my car looks great!!! I had the pro kit but it was just 1.5 all around not low enough then my cousin put on sportlines and I was in love. If you do not notice a significant drop in the beginning then that is it, settling in is a little beneficial but not much because when my cousin put his Sportlines on we noticed it right away when we lowered the lift!!

Did you put the springs in teh right place you know they isd back and front springs right?

You also said you bought used springs, people have said sportlines sag in the rear over time, you might have got a bad deal.
