Just finished up the install and the car rides great and handles/steers like a dream. BUT, the car is up about 1" in the rear and 1/2" in the front. Already been lowered about 1.5" with unknow aftermarket springs.

Anyone run into this? Didn't really want it any higher... Anyone know if it'll settle?

If the springs that you just put on are performance progressive rate springs they wont drop the car as much as specific rate lowering springs. At least thats what i see when i look at the catalogs.

Springs didn't change... only the shocks, struts, CC plates. These items raised the height.

i have KYB adj. shocks and when there on the weakest setting it sits 1" lower roughly and vice versa, maybe this is your problem, there stiffer?

Yeah im thinking new stiffer shocks and struts will push the ride height up. 1 inch does seem a little high though.
