Default i just lowered my car and it seems high

i just put some goldline springs on (2.5 " drop all aroiund) and it seems like stock height. i mean it seems a little lower but not much. do they need time to settle in since they are new? i also don thave a front end on my car and half my motor out, maybe that raised it up a bit???

Once you roll the car 20 ft it will settle signifigantly. I'm sure the removed parts don't help either. I also found with my springs everything evened out more after driving for a couple weeks and after I made sure my tires were full all around.

You did drive the car right, if not did you take off the parking brake ? I remember a few people replying really quick, they dropped the car down and came on here I guess.

That could be part of the problem right there but yeah move the car about 10-20 feet and the suspension will settle a bit more.

Rock the front and rear end up and down at each corner of the car. That should help them settle a little quicker as well.

Your suspension setup needs time to adjust, just like if you were gonna put coilovers on a car, give it a few days, it will sit nice..

The suspension will settle a bit but the main reason is because of no motor or front end.
