the koni's have a 2 perch things on the shock body. if it's on the top one (theres a ring on it), then thats why its so high. put it on the bottom one to return to "normal" height.

its on the bottom, and the perch its self is as low as it can be.

im thinking it could be the camber kit more than anything... maby its holding the car up because i didnt have any weight on it when i put it in

for the rear camber kit install, you are supposed to tighten the bolt (the one above the drum) after taking out the jack and/or jack stands...

Did you install the lower perch like a bell? I only asked since Ive heard of people installing it upside down like a cup.
