Default progress springs with kyb agx... 93 hatch... didn't lower 2"?

alright... just a heads up... this was my first time installing shocks and springs

i have a 1993 civic cx hatchback

running progress springs 2" drop all around and 325f/275r spring rate **brand new

and kyb agx shocks... 4-way adjustable **brand new

so i got done and it doesn't look like a 2" drop should be... what could cause this?

also i've been running on them for over 2 weeks now so they should have settled right??

no because my stock shocks & springs were messed up... the fronts were hyper-extended because there was no motor in it for about a year before i bought it, and the back ones were blown out

does anybody have a pic of a 92-95 hatch with a 2" drop??

At a 2" drop, it should have about a 2 finger gap between the front fender and the tire if holding your hand parallel to the ground. This is of course assuming your using a stock diameter tire...
