Again, something is going on with the install I'm sure of it. All the springs are the same, all CNC wound from the same coil of wire. And Roland's were some of the last of 120 sets on that batch (batches never overlap because I tend to run out for at least a few weeks in between shipments). The trouble I'm having is no answers, which I in a way get if someone else installed them. Once again, lots of things could be propping the front up more than normal, in fact combinations of things can be doing it (some from this, some from that). Until those things are addressed and ruled out, I don't know what more I can say.

Depending on the angle of the front bottom shock mount that could possibly be the issue.
If the bottom mounts are angled towards the center of the car \ , it might cause a binding/torsion bar like effect making the front sit higher. Now if you mount them with the bottom shock mounts angled outwards toward the wheels / you shouldn't have this issue. I've seen this happen with both Bilstein and Koni shocks.

Thanks. 315/35/17 in rear and 275/40/17 in front. Torque Thrust wheels that I painted the centers black. Ride height has settled down perfectly now. I adjusted my TD's and lots of ground clearance as well.

Were the a-arm bolts tightened with the car sitting at ride height (i.e. not jacked up with a-arms hanging down)...?
