S Techs on DX 05 not Low

I just put in my S techs on my stock shocks and they are not that low. It was only like about an inch drop all around. I did the install correctly and no popping sound on the springs. I was surprised that the drop was not 1.3 and 1.4. I will took pic tomorrow.

I bought mine off ebay from this seller 24ibuy which has 37000+ feedbacks. I know the springs are genuine since I saw the tein thats fake. Mine got all the serial number and name which are printed correctly. Not twisted just like the fake ones.

How long do springs settle on their original specs?

if you wanted to go low you shouldn't have got s tech's. They're more of a ride quality spring.

I have maxspeed lowering springs advertised 1.3 inch drop. Mine took a few months to settle. When I first installed them my car didnt' even look dropped well the back was alot higher than the front. With time the back settled and now its even all around so don't get discouraged. They're advertised to not sag past 1.75 inch and I can fit just about two fingers between the wheel well and tires. I know these are not s techs but was just hoping my experience might provide some info for you.
