Default whats up with my springs?! (literally)

i was comparing my car with a friend of mine and we both have s-techs but wen i went up next to him my car looked higher... its not bc of the fact that his shocks might be dumped bc he had just put in his springs a week ago and i know for sure that i installed mine properly as a local shop inspected them also... is there any way that i could adjust the shock so that the car can sit lower?
