Unhappy Help! Tein HA installation

HI Everyone,

Anyone with Tein HA help.. I had the Tein HA installed yesterday. However, it does look right.

I want about 1" between my wheel and fender all arround. So the installer move up the front rings all the way up.. with 5 thread count from top left. The car did not have any gap... and the moving of the rings upward for the front.

The back is even worse. Installer move the rings all the way to the bottom. The lowest it will go. The gap in the back is F%%k up. Its about 1.5" or more between wheel and body.

Can some help? I think there are two size of the main spring. The installer put the smaller main spring in the front. And Bigger main spring in the back. I think its reverse. Can someone check?

Also on the driver side rear strut. The **** is f&&k up. I turn the **** counter clockwise. to reset to softest setting.. and it continue to turn and turn.. which is different than the other three. The other three strut will eventually hit a place where you can turn no more... DO I also have a bad strut? 'cause right now I can't tell what setting its on...
