I know, I know might be just the damn cheap springs but I researched a little online and read similar situations with pricier springs. Just want to know what possibilities can be why it didn't lower. Other than its M2 springs.... I read 50/50 review on those...... Thanks

If it's been longer than that... -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09 June '12 COTM '95 AT200

I've had them installed for about four months so settling is outs the question. Now that i really look at it measurements, only the rear dropped haha o well that's what i get for going cheap and expecti ng great results . Thank you people for the answers! Still learining!

Thing is those cheap ones have no QA QC on their products. -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~
