Okay, it looks great in the front but the rear is slammed and its still at essentially stock ride height.
I went and got the 3 year alignment deal at the local NTB, they got the car aligned right on the money, but that rear sitting so high looks goofy, is there something we didn't do right?

there's a few things you need to remove from the rear bottom perch...
there's a white spacer and also, depending upon what brand you bought...and what that sits on.
you need to post what brand, etc.

hmmm...no experience with those...and don't know anyone with them. someone else here has
put them in...so maybe they can chime in.
there's a white spacer in the rear that KW recommends to remove. not easy to remove if you live in a wet/snow region...as it typically gets rusted in there...but can be removed with patience. that should take out 1/4" - 3/8" or more.

factory uses it to set camber - so it's different thicknesses on different cars. Mine came right off. Also - check to see if your rear springs need to be oriented a specific way - I know my KW's should.
