Thanks for all the reply's,

I am leaning towards the fact that maybe I have the wrong springs but I did get them at a reputable OE and aftermarket parts wholesaler who did some research with the VIN and all to make sure they were correct but who knows. The first set I got, one was OE and one was aftermrket, I was concerned with the compatability and exchanged them for two aftermarket springs, can't remember the name or part number, guess I need to do some digging. I think they were something like brembo?, bimbo?, I forget now,,,
