nothing to do with bump stops, that's just how quickly it will rebound if you hit a large pot hole or bump. I never cut mine for reference and there are plenty of pics with OEM rims and aftermarket rims before I swapped to coils just for reference.
How long has it been since the springs were installed? they will settle a bit after a few days.
In your pic the front looks correct to me, the rears seem to be sitting a tad lower then what I recall mine. The only way I would assume its the springs is if they are some knock off springs. I have heard of these going around on eBay. If they are used, and the real deal, it should be your last issue.
If its none of these next thing I would check is your shocks in the rear to see if they are blown. How is the ride currently?? anything seem abnormal??

No there not knock offs an I just had them installed yesterday. I was under the impression that the front would be lower as well. An the ride seems on a tad bit bumper than stock. The fronts seem stiff like I'm not sure if the spring is compressing or what going on up front. The rear are fine an noise or rubbing what so ever.

give it a few days and see how if it balances out. the ride is from the drop and stiffer springs. it would be hard to tell if they were knock off's from what I have heard. didn't mean that you had purchased them intentionally.
snap a few new pics after a couple of days so we can compare and see if there are any changes.

Will do sir. An I ordered the springs from a vendor named circuit motorsports so I doubt they would send me knock off in a legit tanabe box. So I'll keep you posted on this.

Installed the same springs on my 07 GS350 a while back and noticed that the front had a slightly higher gap then the back as well but it slowly settled down. Give it a little time it may fix itself. The rear does look a little low for a new install.
