Struts and stuff

Hello all,
I am new to the forum although I am not new to Dodge. I have owned a 96 Neon 2 door MTX for a few years, the rear struts were shot so I replaced them with KYB GR-2 struts, a bit more money but I wanted something a little more stiff then stock. Here is where it get's strange, after replacing the struts(retaining the stock springs), the ride height of the rear increased 1+ inches. Any ideas what might cause this? or does anyone have a cure?
Thanks in advance!

I think your probably right, I'll either live with it or find some lowering springs. I see a lot of "coil over" adjustable type on Ebay but I am pretty sure they are cr*p. Plus I don't really want to lower the front, just the rear a small amount.
