Default Springs question....not low

I have an EG. I just recently installed Tein Springs (s-Tech). But for some reason, it doesn't seem as if it was dropped. Will it take a day or two for it to compress a little? and I don't remember if the previous owner said if the shocks/struts were from an integra. Would that make a difference?

Thanx.

yeah, s.techs dont drop much. if you wanted to be low you should have gotten something else like h&r race.. me on the other hand, 1.8" drop is perfect.. I scrape daily as is anyway

Unless you get the Konis with adjustable perches, it won't do too much.

KYB AGX's are another option. Their adjustaibility offer you what your looking for.

you do know that springs take about a week to 'settle in' right? itll go down as much as i think 1 centimeter, or 2/5 of a inch relatively. so it will go down a bit. Tell me how those S-Techs are. Cause i want them because I hear there as comforatble as stock on the straights, but a bit firmer in the corners, and only lower it a little, which is perfect for me.

The teins are good. Felt almost like stock, but maybe because it's new. But I'll wait about a week to see how it settles, in the mean time, I'll look for some aftermarket shocks.
