Default "Lowered" 98 DX coupe

Hey I just got done insalling some eibach pro-kit springs. It's supposed to be a 1.5" drop. I installed the springs in the front, lowered the car off the jack, and it's the same height as stock! Do the springs need to be broken in or something? I figured I would notice the drop right away. Even though its only 1.5"s, i should still see a difference..shouldnt i? thanks people

well.... i got the tokico springs and illumina shocks.. now i lowered it myself... and b4 i dropped the car i measured from the center of the wheel/brake rotor/ whatver... to the very top of the wheel well.. and when i dropped it... it looked stock to me as well... but then i measured it.. and it was exactly 1.5 drop... i think it was because im so used to seening cars lowered with like 2.0/2.5 drops... it just lookd the same... but how is the handling now?

have you driven it yet? It will settle a bit after you drive on them.

I have the same springs. My car isn't slammed, by any means, but it is noticeably lower.
