Default Vogtland suspension issues for 97 2.8L B5 A4 ??

I replaced my stock springs and shocks to the Vogtland Sport springs and Koni Adjustable Shocks. Upon doing so I noticed the rear was significant lower than the front. I'd say the front was lowere almost an inch, while the rear was lowered about1 3/4inches. I figured since the front of the car had more weight that eventually it would settle in and be even with the rear.
After doing a weeks worth of city, highway, and aggressive driving up and down through the twisties on Mt Ranier in Washington the suspension was still the same, didnt really move any. The front end is still higher than the rear by at least 3/4 to a full inch.
Anyone else come across this problem before? This is my first time purchasingan aftermarket suspension and I installed them myself. I know I did a decent jobinstalling it.Could it have to do with the Koni Adjustable shocks maybe? Unfortunately I am not able to take photo and post them at this time. I will get to that as soon as I possibly can. Thanks for the help guys

I think it's the springs.Are the front and rear springs the same size?
Check with the company you bought them from.

Could be the springs. Just my luck for me to get a jacked up rear spring set eh. Before installing I noticed the front springs were slightly longer than the rear, but figured that since the front part of the car was heavier and takes more weight on the front end from taking corners that it would break in the springs and make the car even. But there goes that Idea HA!
I wish I could get with them at this time. But unfortunately I am in Iraq until I return home mid summer 2008. I installed the springs myself during my mid-tour leave from my deployment. Thanks man
