Unhappy rear coil over problems?

hey guys..... i drive a 02 civic ex sedan and i just got some new coil overs (no namers) and was expecting a nice clean drop... i slammed the front which looks pretty sick but i slammed the rears and the end result was pretty much the same as the stock ride height. it only got lowered by like 1/2 inch. im greatly dissapointed with the outcome of the rears. if anyone can help me with this please help me!!

usually, its a settling issue. how long have they been installed? give it about a week max then see if its settling in.

goodluck on surving the stock struts

Coilovers should not settle. In fact,quality ones are guaranteed not to settle, sag or lose more than 5% of their length over their lifetime.
Its because you bought no namers and they're so generic the springs aren't the right length. Try buying something thats worth buying.
