Progress coilover owners help!

I installed progress coilovers on my 03 em2 yesterday and I can't get more than a 1.5" drop in the rear. I searched the site for pictures of the coilovers and my rear shocks look too long. They are as long as the factory rear struts. In pictures I found they are diffinitely shorter. Had to order the ones for the ep3 since I have the 16mm front knuckle bolts. Did I get the wrong rear shocks? Are they longer on the hatch?

Bleu, can you just order shorter springs? I know justin had to get 5" springs for his GCs because the 6" were too long...I dunno, just thinking here.

Hey Rob. I called progress and the guy thinks the threaded sleeves were machined wrong, he's sending me a new set. Kind of irritated that the rear shocks aren't shortened like the fronts, but whatever.
