Default Disappointed with Sprint Springs

I bought these Sprint springs (blue) for a cheap price last saturday and had them installed. The guy said its a 2.5 drop. When they lowered the car, damn the car is still too high for me. I still have a 2 finger gap on the front. My cousin got a 2.5 H&R drop and his drop was perfect. I'd say 1 finger gap between the fender and the wheel. Would my springs still settle down or I just have to live with my stupid drop?

How long does it usually take before it settles?

you could even trim away a coil with a grinder
I wanted my car a little lower when I got my Eibach sportlines, so I took about a coil of the spring and that did the trick.

Aftermarket spings are stronger than Oem springs so can hold up better.
I wouldnt take too much off, just a little to make it where you like them.
My car still handles good.

Just DO NOT do this to stock springs.
