Okay everyone this is my first time owning a s197 so bare with me lol i just installed lowering springs front and rear with new struts and strut mounts up front it was only supposed to drop the front 1.375" and the front is bottomed out the bottom three coils on the spring are resting on each other. I've tried everything any ideas?

Sounds like the lowering kit you got was not the correct match. Can you return it or get them to send the correct front springs?
