A "friend" of mine recently replaced the front coils and struts on this car. The front of the car now sits about 5 inches higher than it should. Is it more likely that the strut is too long or could it be the coil spring that's causing this issue? Unfortunately he no longer has the part numbers of the items he installed.

Help!

You have the wrong struts or springs. You will have to buy the right ones and have them installed. It sounds like the mechanic didn't know his spring from a strut.
