everything has to settle in to place, thats what I ment by almost 3/4 inch on my car. Give it some time. It helps if you find a parking lot, and go do some slolom, hard circles and stuff.

When I first put mine on it was actually a 1/2 inch higher, 1200 miles later and it is now down 3/4!

Just give it time.

Measure from the ground up to each wheel well in the center and keep track of the drop, you will notice.

Hell, I still have the Tape Measure in my car.

Good news, thanks for the replies guys/gals. I will measure it and keep track. I love the handling, btw.

Oh yeah, if anyone is interested in how the AWR 21.5 rear swaybar "damages" the stock rear strut endlink tabs, I just took a look at my old rear struts and they look perfectly fine.

Good to know, I just installed my 21.5mm reay swaybar this weekend on stock struts. I love how it feels when I take a corner. I am at the softest setting though.

yea hopefully they will drop the car in a few week , but try twisting the springs so they sit correctly in the struts. Just an idea, we had a car at work we replaced springs in and it sat higher then it did when it came it because of the springs improperly sittin in the strut housings so we twisted the srpings so they sat correctly, and BAM its sittin good now.


Just a thought, if not, that p5 guy said his lowerd in time....
