whats wrong with me car

i recently installed a set of Eibach pro-kit lowering springs on my 95 corolla. my problem now is that the rear was dropped approx. 1.2" (which is good) but my front didnt seem to lower a bit (maybe 1/8"inch). installed them about 3-4 weeks ago. handling has imporved incredidly but the front end still hasnt dropped since. checked the struts and they seemed fine and working. could anyone explain as to why this is happening? thanks, any remedies for this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Some of the probable causes:
1. Spring rate at the front too high.
2. Wrong installation. Swap front with rear.
3. Springs not mounted properly.
4. Front springs aren't supposed to be lowered to give them clearance from tires.

I could be wrong.

Maybe it just seems that way... even stock the Corolla has more of a fender gap in the front than in the rear.
