Default Help: One Side Higher Than Other (more Info Inside)

Ok recently i have just put on a new 97+ front bumper and when i raised it it was okay. But it was too high so when i tried lowering it, one side was higher than the other. Even when i put my coilover (tein flex) all the way to the bottom its still high... And when i drive it feels like ****, so i checked it out and it looks like my spring isnt getting any pressure at all.. It is like its not in place.. please someone help me!!

Spring/shock or coilover, you can still look into those issues since they had to be loosened when you installed the coilovers.

Okay nevermind. I checked his suspension today and the swaybars are positioned correctly. Everything seems to look good, but even when the car is on wheels, the springs are loose and basically that side of his car is just running on SHOCKS, not the springs.

Do you guys know the problem? Even when the car is in driving mode, the springs still move. What could be the problem? I am clueless.
