Question Skunk 2 lowering springs, How low will I go?

So after sitting in my closet for almost half a year I finally installed my skunk2 loweirng springs. The nopi.com site where I ordered them from said, "2.25 front and 2.5 rear." Umm, yea it's been 1 week and one day now and the drop isn't that significant at all. No one besides the people who knew I got it lowered can even tell a difference. The mechanic that helped me do the install said, "It will take 2 weeks to settle." But i'm having my doubts!

So write back and tell me if anyone you all know has had this problem before from skunk 2 or any other brand in fact. And is the waiting two weeks thing true?

you know what your not the first person to complain about their "2 inch" drop... if the springs were good should only like 2-3 days to settle to their ride height. what size tires and how much fender gap do you have anyways? cause 2.25" isn't exactly slammed... i know my 1.75" drop doesnt even looked dropped either
