Default Swapped Control arms and shocks now car MUCH lower

I swapped my lower control arms over the last weekend and now my car is MUCH lower than before. I did not change springs, Just lower control arms and shocks. I went from a no name lower (on the car when I got it) and stock uppers to dbl adjustable uppers, maximum motorsport lowers and Strange 10 way adjustable shocks.

The shocks are set on 5 now but I dont see any reason they would let the car down??? Before I could three almost 4 fingers between the top of the tire and the wheel lip. (Scientific measuring device I know) NOW I can barely stick one in there and thats only if I bend it to lay on the edge of the tire.

I used the same springs as before. They are cut stock springs but even before the car wasnt much lower. I honestly dont think the car will get past the curb at the end of the driveway as it is now. I need some rear springs I guess. I am going to borrow a friends stock Mach 1 springs and see if that will pick it up some.
