I had them installed today, there is no difference in ride height compared to stock. What are you experiences with them? How long does it take for them to settle?

Mine settled after a day or so of driving, but there was an instant noticable difference! For me at least...

No difference at all? I noticed a big difference in height right after the install. Mine settled a bit since then but not much. Here are some before pics of my Tein S-Tech/Koni shocks install. There's a link in the first post to some after pictures as well. You can visually see the difference.

I'll post a picture later but I feel like I wasted my money. the back even looks higher than with the stock springs

Camel8

Not to point out any stupidity but are you 100% sure you got the springs the right way round?

noticed a slight drop right after install, but after like 2 days of drivings it settled a lot more.

You should've noticed a difference right away. If the back is slightly higher in your opinion then you probably have the springs reversed like Camel8 said.
One more thing, when you installed them did you leave them just a little loose right when you put them on, then drive up and down the block, then come back and tighten them up? Or did you just put them in and tighten all the way down without taking the car off of the jacks and for a very quick ride??

you must tighten the front wheel's upper control arm after you put the car back on the ground. Maybe drive around with it a little as well. I left mine settled for a couple hours and then tightened them. If you tightened them while up in the air then that is the reason you do not see a difference. As for the rear, you needa let that settle as well, usually driving around for a few minutes would do the trick.

I didn't do the install, I just dropped my car off at a shop and they did it. Any ways I can check for those things?
