Default H&R race springs f'ed up??

I just installed new H&R race springs, KYB AGX's, full energy suspension poly bushings (had to, stocks were WHOOPED @185k), new lower & upper adjustable ball joints, and rear camber arms. Alignment came in perfect (did it myself @ work) but i noticed the rear sits way too high, looks to be as high as stock, but front sits nice like it should. Ive done searches on what EFs look like w/ H&Rs, and mine doesnt look like that, well not the back atleast. WTF? Any suggestions? I removed the rear struts & checked that I assembled everything right, and its like its supposed to be. Im puzzled. I can take pics tomarrow, if needed.

post some pics. Also, check the serial numbers and make sure you got the right ones.

No, there were instrictions (and I read them for once, lol) and they are marked F & R on there, I already checked part numbers, and the packaging wasnt opened, original factory seal. Anything else? I just thought of this...could it be cuz the rear seats are out? I dont think I pulled THAT much weight out? That cant be it, can it? Ill def take pics tomarrow and you guys can see what Im talkin about.

Its been about 2 weeks. I thought the same about settleing them, but I dunno. I took pics today, I dindt know what else to do w/ them so I put them on car domain. The fender gap is pretty ugly. Lemme know what you guys think, Im out of ideas. Also, I took a pic of the rear spring compressed, are there supposed to be so many coils touching? I dont think the stock springs had that many coils compressed at normal height? Thanks.
