the coilovers are much shorter than stock springs and when u do a fresh install the stock shocks are going to push up a little bit so there will be play...just put the car down on it and it'll adjust itself to the spring height cuz the springs are wat holds the car up not the shocks

They're short on purpose. Just put the car down and be amazed that its right. If you have 5" rear springs, call ground control, tell them you want 6" rear springs. The 5s are too short.

get a ruler
You just have to put the car down and see where it ends up. Mine is set 9 threads down from the top and I have 2 fingers between the fender and the tire.
