Just installed swift sport springs

I just installed a set of swift sport springs. The feel is amazing. But i have a question for any other swift owners. The springs barely dropped the car not that i want it to be much lower. But after yours settled how low did it end up getting?

most people make the mistake of tightening the control arm bolts while the car is still on stands or on a lift. (aka NO weight on the springs)

- Hand tighten the control arm bolts, lower the car onto the ground, tighten bolts.
- The car is now preloaded.
