I realize that you're talking about a CSX. The final chassis height still defines the control arm angles, not the reverse.

in order for me to get the ride height correct, the springs are too loose. Is it possible I have the wrong springs?

If what you are saying is "When I have the ride height perfect, I can stick my hand under the car and rattle the springs back and forth" then the answer is yes, you must have the wrong springs.
