Ride height too low...any thoughts?

Hi...just installed a set of sway away adjustable spring plates. I've got the angle really cranked down, and the car is still riding really low. Am I missing something? I'll take some pics and send 'em along, but any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

How much adjustment can be made to the ride height with these Sawy Away spring plates? Is it inches or is it just very little fine tuning?

Raceman, they really do. It reminded me of a 60's mustang with the reverse rake. It looks like it's under power just sitting there.

ZLP...it's about 1.5 inches of adjustment. I'm having a hard time even getting the things in the right spot...I'll shoot a few pics and get back.

Ok...here's the image. Notice the angle between the body and the spring plate. (Sorry about this being the only photo...it's the best I could do in the dark in my garage). Right now, the rear suspension is completely extended as far as it will go, and that's the current angle of the spring plates. That said...it rides on it's nuts when it's on the ground, and it's a lot more than an inch or so down.
