Exclamation wont go LOW!!

ive got coilovers installed on my 01 civic ex coupe. my fronts tuck perfectly, but my back end is about 2 inches above tires. there as low as they go on the coilover. it seems its bottomed out on the strut. i need help going lower. why wont my back tuck like my front or at least ride on tires. ANY IDEAS?????

I'm not sure that brand matters all that much but you might try this. switch the springs from the front to the rear and vice versa. This might make a difference, it might not. If it doesn't, you can always buy new springs to go on the current perches.
