Pss9 expert...HELP

Hi All,
I just installed Pss9 plus h sport front adjustable camber in my car ( 2006 mcsa) the car drives ok and I did not do any adjustment ( factory setting )the car is much lower now, anyways when I took a picture while the car is parked I notice that.......
1) the front coilover spring ( 1st 3 coils ) are binded together.
2) the rear coilover spring ( helper springs are all binded together.
3) the front coilover adjusment ( bottom) is almost touching the rubber boot.
are these normal? I am thinking that maybe this is not normal..anyways I have pictures in my gallery and you guys and gals are morethan welcome to check it out..I will try to post the pictures If I can..thanks

Rear helpers do in fact fully compress. They have no effective "rate" and are just there to keep the main springs from loosing their seat in the perches during full droop, to which the Mini has almost no limit. They are fine.
Hard to see how the fronts really look. I forget how mine used to look. I would not be happy with the the top three coils touching like this though. Might have some issue here.???
