The bimmer is finally on coilovers! ...or is it..?
Hi, guys. Been on this forum for awhile despite not ever posting anything. I own a 1990, luxorbeige, BMW 520i e34 
Will post some sort of thread as soon as it is is worthy.
So after all the inspiration i got from readin up on epic threads daily, I finally decided to start sort of "stancing" my car. Already picked up a set of 17x8 BBS RC090's, they are refurbed and on the car. Also snagged a set of Style 32's that are gonna get a makeover as well. And yes, i know im not "supposed" to get wheels before lowz, but these were dirt cheap and i had to move quicklky.
Anyways.. Coilovers, the next step, hard to come by for my car where i live, so i needed a TUV-approved set within budget. I went with some from TA Technix. And i know that you get what you pay for and so on, but im a TOTAL noob at this, so i figured that would do for now. But ive hit a snag... After install, while the ride is harder and steering is somewhat sharper, but the ride height is about the same as before.
A quick pic of the car before (horrible phone camera):
Aaand after:
...not very impressive, i know
But thats why im reachin out to you guys for help, Here are some quick photos i took of the setup.

Where did this go wrong? What to do?
