Default install help with Eibach/shock combo

I have Eibach Pro springs, new insulators, new Monroe strut mounts. I read the ls1howto article and once I installed all this the car actually sat higher than stock. What am I doing wrong here? the Monroe mounts didnt fit all the way down into the spring like the stock setup it seemed. I have 01 T/A.

When you tightened the bolts for the upper/lower control arm bushings, did you have the vehicle resting on the suspension (i.e. not on jack stands)...?

I'll try to get some pics up tonight. Yeah, i had the vehicle resting on jack stands. I'm gonna take back the Monroe mounts and exchange for teh Moog ones. The Monroe ones looked somewhat thicker to me.
