sport line issue

so heres my problem, i have a 2009 cobalt sedan, i use to have a 2006 sedan. i bought sportlines for it, they were installed when i picked up the car and sat perfectly.

i had gotten rid of the 06 for the 09 and put the sportlines on the new balt.
thing is, my front is sitting about a half inch or more higher then the back.

i thought it was the ground not being level at first but it wasn't.
its driving me nuts because it looks horrible!!!
origionally we thought that the suspension is different on the 09 compaired to the 06 and this is what is causing the crappy stance, but were not sure.

i've been considdering getting H&R springs or bagging it..
but i dont have the $ to do either right now

i have no pics but trust me its very noticeable and i really need to fix it.
any help would be awesome!

thanks

anyone ?

Trim your bumpstops the correct length? how long have they been on the car now?

Did you install them or a shop? If the springs are not seated properly at the bottom or the top, it could cause this. Make sure the end of the bottom coil is nested in the groove, and flush against the stop. And the top perch has the tab facing in.
