Default Just installed FRPP Springs.. car barely even dropped..

It seems like the car did not even drop at all, like maybe it dropped half an inch.. here is some pics of before and after.. I have the M-300-N springs that drop 1.5 inches, not the M-300-P that drops 1 inch.

AFTER:



I even took measurements of the gap with the springs installed.

Front Wheel Gap is almost at 2 inches..


Rear wheel gap is almost at 2.5 inches..


These springs are "supposed" to lower it 1.5 inches..

I run the FRPP K springs on my GT and they lowered as advertised. Did you buy them used? Maybe you got ripped off?

I bought them from streetsideauto new. The part numbers match too because they are on the springs themselves.

What were the measurements before you installed the kit?

Very odd.

When I did this with my Focus though it took a couple of days for them to settle and drop a bit more.
