I got the new front suspension on but?

Its all jacked up in the air like its coil bound, and the suspension wont give hardly at all. I did the shelby drop and also used 620 1 inch lowering coils on the front, also replaced every peice up there, UCA and LCA too. Its sitting 1 to 2 inches higher then it was before. I`m wondering if I could possibly have tightened stuff down too much or at the wrong time. I thought once the motor was in it would settle, but you can hop on the fender and it just sits there.....

if you tightened the LCA's with the car in the air and no load on the suspension that's your problem. it's called preload. jack the car back up, loosen the LCA bolts until they're about finger tight the drop the car back down on the ground and retighten the LCA bolts

I was thinking that too sorta, but....

before I mounted the shocks and coils on it, I could move the upper and lower control arms fairly well by hand with the spindles and brake assembly on it.

Think I should still try that?

If this helps any I also mounted a 1 1/8 front sway bar, and also adjustable strut arms (these are mounted exactly per the instructions)
