Default DSM Skunk2 coilovers HUGE PROBLEM

I bought these coilovers looking to get the slammed look with the performance aspect but after putting the car on the ground it sits higher then stock??? I have at least 4in of wheel gap all around. THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A SKYJACKER KIT ON IT Please someone tell me what I am doing wrong. Heres a list of my mods, I will post pics up later.

2G TSI AWD
Full Poly bushing Kit
Rm swaybars
Tokico blues
Skunk2 coilovers

Also the coilovers are ALL THE WAY DOWN, theres tons of adjustment going up but NONE going down.

yeah the adjusting nuts, are supposed to be closer to the bottom of the struts, and the springs on top.

Yea there on the right way, I talked to a fellow dsm guy and he said some kits you have to knock the purches off the shock to get them to function right

I think on the instructions for installing skunk2's on an Integra, they say to flip the rear perches. I never did and my car sat plenty low.
