Arnaud, mine came the same way and that was fine without the drivetrain installed. After it was installed and the suspension settled, I had just over 3 1/2" of height in the front and couldn't even get my jack under the front crossmember. To get the front ride height set, I jacked up the front, removed the lower spring adjuster (just unscrewed it and let it sit below the threaded area), and lubed the threads on the coilover lightly with antiseize. I then screwed the adjuster back on until the spring was compressed. After several checks, I ended up with the bottom of the lower adjuster 15/16" from the bottom of the threads on both sides. This gave me 4 1/2" of ride height that I expect will settle a bit more. On the rear, I did the same thing and have the adjuster all the way out and the ride height is still 5". This will settle once I fill the tank, get in, and drive!
