Start with the following: Move the lower coilover mounts to the furthest outboard mount hole. Adjust the coilover spring preload collar to its weakest setting.
Now, sit the little one in it, and see what it does. By hand, roll the machine back and forth a few times to allow the suspension to settle in, perhaps push down on the frontend a couple times and see where it rests.
If you're equipped with a welder, you can make up some new upper coilover mounts that will be vertically higher up (ie, measuring straight UP from the road surface).
Fabroman is correct in that the A-arms should be level with the road surface at ride height. Poor design notwithstanding, there should still be some up travel, although there may not be.
People often forget that in order for suspension to be particularly useful, down-travel at the wheel is just as important as up-travel (relative to static ride height).
Since there's a munchkin in there and high speed/performance is probably a non-issue, you could probably apply the following non-permanent solution: Affix some additional weight to the front end.
