Out of curiosity, which setting do you have the dampening set to. Mine is @ 15 notches front and rear.

i have them as well, but on bags. they came with 12/8 as well. most likely they did NOT send you the wrong coilovers. they will go low past the upper a-arm hitting, and past the frame hitting the pavement. this is normal but never intended to be installed that way. i just hope you didn't install them backwards, front coils out back and vice versa.
as for damping, not dampening (i too was corrected before), since i have bags it maybe differ but i like 20f/15r.

at the highest setting, fully extended, they should be at about 1.5-2" lower from stock, not slammed in any way. you may indeed have a shorter shock body than normal.
are you sure your are adjusting the proper collar? do NOT touch the collars that are directly below the spring. adjust the lowest collar locking the coilover body to the shock. loosen that collar and spin the lower body of the coilover to extend.

If i recall the math correctly, we measured the front stock ones at 22 inches and the bc's at 19 inches fully extended so there was about 3 inch difference. We changed the extreme low shock for the standard shock and stiffened the spring rates from 12-8 to 16-12 and it worked out Just need to mess with the damping for preference.
