Tein Coilovers taken out OEM suspension In...IT SITS SO HIGH!! WHY?

Alright so after my Tein Coilovers installed on my car for a couple of months I sold them and now I went back to my OEM suspension and my car sits SOOO HIGH now, I mean yeah I was used to the slammed looked before but I compared it to a friends G same year and compared it to pictures of when I first bought it and it definitely sits VERY HIGH, almost as it has a lift kit on. Any Idea of why this is happening? The shop that did it is pretty professional and have done work for me before so i doubt is anything that they did wrong, maybe something is put on backwards? front springs were put in the back and vice versa, is that possible?
I need help cuz it looks ugly and definitely not normal.

Yeah but you don't understand it looks like a 4x4 lol, It's so Lifted that even if it was because it hasn't settle I don't think it would be that high.

yeah funny....i don't think it has to do with settling because when i did the suspension swap by mistake they put the other's G suspension on mine (which had been on his car for ever and never taken off) and it was still high, so i don't think it's a matter of my springs sitting on the shelf and having to settle, i hope it is, but i seriously do not think so, it has like a 4-5 inch gap
