Default DSE Coil Over Issue Need Help

A friend brought over his 69 SBC car that just had a shop install the DSE coilover conversion Speed Kit 2

Engine is SBC 327 with iron heads. I'm pulling it and installing a 383 with aluminum heads.

SPEED KIT 2
• Tubular Upper Control Arms
• Tubular Lower Control Arms
• Coilover Conversion Kit
• DSE/JRi Aluminum body coilover shocks with 'Detroit Tuned' valving
• Coilover Springs
• Front Anti-Roll bar
• Torrington Bearings

The coilovers are adjusted to stock ride height.

Problem is No Travel at all and it rides rock hard. 2 guys with the hood open pushing up and down on the core support and the front end does not move.

If put a jack under the sub frame and jack the car it lifts probably 7"-8" or more (haven't measured yet) before the tires come off the ground

Is the spring too soft and compressing it to acheive ride height this problem? Assuming DSE 550# spring?

Haven't called DSE yet just wondering if anybody has experienced this problem?

Thanks
