Take a pic of how the car is sitting right now. It may be because of unevenness in the driveway, or you may have a failed shock and/or spring...
either way, no, thats not cool...

Here is another shot of the spring and car on level ground. I thought the spring was like that at first to keep from crushing the kit that on it but my better judgement says its notsupposed to be that compressed. Funny thing though is it doesnt ride hard at all, it rides smooth and on point but speed bumps, holes, and heavy friends worries me.
