I just installed them on my car and I am not happy at all with the drop. It lowered my car less then a 3/8th of an inch. I did put isos in tho just to try and prevent any noise from happening.

As soon as I installed my H&Rs it was an immediate drop. Take a look at my profile pics, they were taken the very next day. I also installed new isos all the way around.

That's what I thought, I thought it was immediate drop. I only installed the front springs last night I ran out of time, I am doing the rear springs tonight.

So I wonder what's going on with my springs tho? I got new shocks and struts too do you think they need to settle in?

Did you install them in the groove correctly?

My super sports probably dropped an inch off the car right after install. Then, another inch over 3-4 weeks
