Default Eibach Pro Kit did not drop the car that much

I have a 2013 V6 and I put on the Eibach pro kit and it did not do a whole lot. I have 20" wheels with 255/35 Toyo tires. You can see the gap in my sig pic. What are my options here? Which springs should I get instead. I see that AM is having a sale on SR springs. Will that drop the car more? Should I go and get the H&R Sports? I measured the gap from the ground and it is 28.5" in the rear and 27.8" in the front. Is that a normal drop?

Some of the pics on AM that have the pro kit look really good. Mine hardly looks like anything happened. Thanks guys!

It takes normally 2 weeks for the car to "Settle", so try an wait a while before you measure the wheel wells. Pro kit is not a 2" drop.

I'd be happy with it myself the way it is. Or get a higher profile tire. Too low, it would look like you were hauling Cinder Blocks around.

I've had the springs since December. Certainly has time to settle. I'll probably try a different spring.

I think an 1.5 drop would be good if that's what you got with it. I'm not sure how much my car dropped with the pro kit but it wasn't much. Does anybody know the stock height from the ground to the fender?

My 2012 3.7 is 28 1/2 appr. Front and 29 3/4 appr. Rear Stock. I want to bring the rear
down and plan to install rear only SR performance springs, BMR lca's w/ Whiteline brackets.
A J&M adj. panhard bar. I want better control in the corners, hopefully this will help. I
can't afford coilovers.
