This hard to measure because you have to hold the center of the strut with a Torx wrench to keep it from turning with the nut- making it impossible to use a torque wrench, and you have to have the new spring compressed enough for the nut to be adequately seated.
I think you need to remove your struts and tighten down the 24mm upper strut nut to hold your springs in place when the car is lifted.  |

There have been a lot of threads like this about PFADT springs. The springs have too short of an uninstalled height.

The nuts are fully tightened! I'm the one that installed them for him. The springs are definetely too short. After the nut is fully tightened the spring will move around up and down untill the weight of the car is applied.
Sorry bro looks like you're S.O.L. unless Pfadt will exchange them for the newer design when they come out
