H&R super sport springs dropped rear way too low?

I only had the super sports on for about 12 hours before I had to go back and put the stocks back on... the ride was way too bouncy and I could not fit my 19" rims or else the fender would scrape the crap out of the lips of my rims.. is this normal? I really want to lower the car but still be able to see the rear tire not just the rim....

Somethings definitely not right. Unless something else was changed prior to you doing it or different wedges put on the rear it could never be that low from a simple spring change

That's weird... I was watching the entire installation nothing was replaced other than the springs...

I hate to say it but there's gotta be something seriously wrong. I have SS with 19's as well, it's nowhere near that extreme. Even members running SS with 20's and showing less tuck.
Wish I could offer more help but would just be guessing at this point.
I definetly reccomend disecting the installation and go from there.

I would have the car flat bedded to whoever did the springs. Make sure rear spring pads were re-installed. Something is definitely not right. I would not drive the car the way it is

Yeah it looks like to me you don't have the rear pads installed. That would also explain the extra bounce you are experiencing.

Here is my car with the H+R Super Sports with the 5mm pad. You have to be missing your rear pads.
