Default Please help with Tokiko HP set.

Hello everyone.
Just finished my first DIY! It was Tokiko blue.
HOWEVER! I didnt lower at all!!!!!! Was supposed to drop 2''.
I measured the distance from wheel center to the fender:
Before: 13.5'' now 14''!!!!!!
What the hell!!!!!!
I know HP is a pos,but anyways...
Does it take some time till the springs compress or should i just go and throw it all away? Or maybe just buy eibach sportlines but i am not shure how they will go with tokikos......
Thank you! :

You just put on new shocks, not lowering springs. Your car will sit higher bc they are a bit firmer and have not settled in yet. I dont know why you got this unless you are going for an SCCA certification to stay in stock class.
