Tokico Illumina struts/high per. springs put it, car isnt low enough?

Hey all,
I just got my Tokico Illumina Struts and High Performance Springs put in.
It is supposed to be a 1.75" drop front and rear but the car looks almost stock.
Especially in the front. I heard about a settle in period? is this true?
WEll the ride is night and day diffrence but i would prefer a bit lower.

They will setlle a bit over time. If it's not low enough for you, you may need to get some other springs. Just give it a bit of time.

If you had put the front springs on the rear and rears on the front the car would be with its nose slammed and its rear end up way in the air.

Yea I'm sure the springs are in the right way, hopefully it will settle.
And rather than start another thread in the future (which i might have to)
what do you guys recommend i do next to the SUSPENSION
what is typically the next step, I want some serious handling/launching,
car is 1997 Civic EX btw.
