DIY'ers, What is wrong with this?

The Easter Bunny left me some rims, rubber, tokico d, and some springs. I spent the past weekend installing the suspension and made the biggest noob mistake ever.

Im curious to see who can figure this out. What is wrong with this picture? And no, "You don't have coilovers on the car" is not the correct answer.

Guys, it's already been answered in post #5, confirmed in #7.

BTW - swaybar is fine. It has 4 holes but one is obscured by the locking tab on the end link.

Yes, answered and done.

This guys, is an example of what not to do.........thanks OP for sharing.....its a small but important point to keep in mind when working on your suspension, weather it be a spring/shock swap like this one, or a complete coilover install........
