Well i put new springs on, took my old frpp C springs out and replaced them with Tokico springs cause i wanted it lower.

The frpp C springs are supposed to lower your car .75" if im not mistaken and my tokicos advertise 1.5" drop. I put in tokico shocks and struts as well as cc plates while i was in there.

Anyway it doesnt look any lower at this point, Its very frustrating i know the springs have to settle and its only been one day but still i was expecting a little more drop than this right off the bat.

Anyone have a similar experience?

well in the front i believe c-springs drop about 1 1/8" and the back about 7/8"-1". So when you replace them with springs the most you can realistically ask for is a 1/2" drop. 3/8-1/2" is definitely within the scope of "settling"

I have the opposite issue, The Steeda Sports claim a 1.25-1.50 drop and mine was a solid 2" and just slightly too much for me especially in the front.

Yeah, My pro kit only gave me a 3 quarter inch drop after settling, they
only settled about 1 eighth". But Now Im kind of glad cause I never even
needed cc plates or an alignment.

I have FRPP B springs and they look to have settled for a total drop of a little over an inch. I'm happy and I don't scrape on anything (there perfect if you ask me).

I've got some H&R SuperSports that I would have sold you, as well as MM CC Plates. They are just sitting in a storage shed for a year while I'm up in Canada

Springs never seem the same from car to car from my experiences. My H&R supersports looked lower on my 03 when I had them on there than they do in my 95. On My 95 they seem like about a 1 1/2 drop imo, when they are supposed to be 1.8 to 2 inches.

U shouldve went with sportlines, or @ the minimum supersports if u wanted it to look lower than what u already had.

If you ever change your mind, try the H&Rs Super Sports. People always say they are WAY too low for their own taste.
