I have the same springs and your front looks a bit high compare to mine. You need to loosen the arm bolts and lets it settle more, then tighten.

Search under "spring preload", "preloading springs", etc. It's very common.

this might sound dumb, but what if someone is sitting in the car and preload it? would this make it a lower drop?
lol thanks.

If you just got them installed give it some time to settle down. There is only so much they will drop/settle given the Spring rate that you got vs drop hight, unless you get after market shocks or your shocks start to go out around 70K miles like mine where on my AT with Tanabe GF 210 springs. Dam the front was low!
