Maxspeed question?

The rear only dropped .25 inches.

Is that it?

The front dropped 1.5 inches which is great but the rear only .25 inches.

Any advice?

The springs have a 'settle' period before they show the maximum drop.

I was told this settle period is 2 weeks...I've got them in 2 weeks and my drop isn't any lower, not that I'm complaining....

Thats pretty strange. You might consider calling where you bought them and getting replacements for the rear if you suspect they sent you some springs from a bad batch. Maybe if others had the same problem from that supplier they would call too. Where did you get your springs? How does your car ride / look?

The rear sits high. Basically no drop at all.
