New struts raised the car?

Ok, I just replaced my blown front struts with a pair of basic KYB Excel-G's & now my car rides noticably higher than it did when it was stock. It's riding on eibach springs, btw. So the car should sit much lower. Will it settle down lower?
 


No settling yet. The car always did sit far to low in the rear and too high in the front. I'm wondering if the eibach springs were switched front to back when they were originally installed. Maybe...

I don't think the springs can physically be switched front to back. Not 100% sure, but I don't think so.

And like others have said, the struts don't affect the ride height. Springs do. Give them time to settle and they should be back where they were before.
 
Alright I'll give it more time. Kinda like the way it looked b4 with the blown struts; Noticably lower:th_laugh-lol2:
