Default Qa1 coil over question

I installed a set of Qa1s along with a set of UMI tubular upper and tubular lower control arms and with the springs adjusted to the max, the car is still in the weeds, am I Missing something? I have the 450lb. Springs and a small block without AC. Any ideas?

Firefighter, thats an unusual situation,, ive got qa1s with speedtech arms and have it as low as it can go (last threads at bottom of shock).. are you sure you wound them the right way? or maybe have drop spindles on there without knowing? not sure what else to say here.. hopefully someone else with better knowledge will help out.

Thanks for the reply, the customer says the spindles are stock. The car was originally a drum brake car, and it was converted to disk.To remedy the problem I had to use a spacer that sits on top of the coil spring.And the spring is wound up 2/3 up.
