Default Lowering my eg

I started lowering my eg today. I am using the tokico hp kit with springs and shocks. I only had enough time to do the passenger side front because i had to hunt down a spring compressorand by the time i finished it was getting dark. When i did the passenger side front it didnt even look like it lowered it at all, do i have to do the other side before i get my drop? It is supposed to drop it 1.5 inches.

Um drive it around for a while. Don't expect it to drop all of a sudden after you take your car off the jack stands.

Good quality springs are not supposed to sag/settle very much at all.

the springs don't do jack.. 1.5 " drop is pretty sad.. i was pretty dissappointed with my neuspeed springs too when i first got them for my accord.. i cut them after a summer.. LOL..

i should have kept my hp struts from that car though.. shoot!

Well I installed the Ground Controls and they are sick as hell. I love the ride. I lowered it about 2 finger gap all the way around. Looks good but will look better when i get some rims (still on stock 13s )
