People with neuspeed sports

I was wondering how much of a gap every has with neuspeed sports in the rear. I just installed these on saturday. I had a 1 and half finger gap on saturday. 2 days later, I have half a finger to zero gap. Its not tucked though.

I'm running 185/65/15 tires right now. I was wondering if its going to drop any lower. I don't really want it to drop any lower though. I want to know if its going to drop lower???

Anybody have the neuspeed sports with 205/40/17 or 205/45/17 with pics of the rear??? Reason I'm asking, I'm deciding on which tires to run for my summer rims.

btw, I looked through the suspension drop pics, I didn't find any pics that fit, what I was looking for.

Here's what it looked like 2 days ago.

I've already got a camber kit in the rear, so hopefully it won't go down any more.

i think generally it's about 1 to 1.5 finger gap for the sport springs. But in 2 days, the springs probably havent settled yet.

^^Agreed. The springs will likely have fully settled in 3 months or so; I know my H&R's on stock shocks took summer+fall to settle to their final height, then the rear shocks died and the rear "settled" even more.

Neuspeed sport springs are suppose to be higher in the back than the front. Do you have a system in the trunk or something?
I would most agree with Telly's answer. Give it a couple of months. I thought my springs settled within a week then a couple months later it dropped even more. I thought the struts must've blown but I checked and they were fine.
Now it's at almost a finger gap in the front and 1 finger in the back. No system in the trunk. Running 225/40/18 on a coupe.

I'm running this setup with the Sedan srings and Koni Shocks and I get roughly 1.5 finger in rear with about a finger up front. Good drop IMO.

I got a set of sports off ebay and my rear sags like crazy. I'm tucking on the driver's side and 1/4 finger on passenger side. I've got tokico's and they're in good shape so i know it isn't blown shocks... 1 12" sub but I really don't think it should be this low in the rear. Btw 195/60/15

Well, its been a week since the install, it has not gotten any lower. I guess its time for my alignment.

Thank you everyone for your input.

wow, you have a lot of gap in the rear still. You also have a smaller diameter tire size though.

Here's what my car looks like now, after a week.

I'd wait a week or two. That's the info I gathered from searching on this site at least.
