Default Lowering car question

Car 2000 Civic EX
Springs H&R sport springs for 90-93 integra 1.8 drop
Put the springs in and the front is lower but the back is still stock height did I do somthing wrong?
The springs w/ F on them go in front and the R go in rear RIGHT?

yes the F goes in front and R goes in the rear.

Sometimes the car needs to settle, I lowerd my car and it looked lower the next day.

If I recall correctly, '90-93 Integras have a longer spring free length in the rear than all other cars based on the double-wishbone Civic platform (except wagon) because the perch is located further down the damper body. This is what happens when you use the wrong springs for the car.
