Probably by design.

It sits like that from the factory too. If you change the rake of a car, you change the handling characteristics and usually not in a good way.

I remember reading about that before on this forum, just not sure where. But I have also seen others with those springs and they didn't look higher in the front. Did you call Eibach, maybe you got ZL1 springs or something?

My car does not sit higher in the front than the rear from the factory.
The wheel well cutouts on the body are larger in the front, but the chassis sits slightly lower in the front.

I’ll get In touch with them today and see what they say. Thought maybe I installed them wrong but everything checks out.

Have you had an alignment done yet? Did you tighten everything while hanging on the rack after installation? If so that could be one reason. I've seen a 1/2" change by letting the car settle before everything is torqued to spec and that should be done on the alignment rack.
