Pic request, r3's with tanabe gf210 springs

I just installed my gf210's on my r3. Just wanted to see how others looked. I was only able to put the fronts on last night and I'm doing the rears today. The front lowered a tiny bit and I'm curious as to how long it took for the springs to settle to see if it will actually lower more. I did search but with my iPhone it didn't really bring anything up. Thanks

I have tein s techs in my car (same drop in the front) and there will be a notcieable drop. Search the site for preloading; that is your problem.

After the first post I did search and did the preload by loosening the upper a arms and now it looks a lot better. I normally do that but didn't even think about doing it when I lowered my rx8. I feel like a jackass for not doing it to begin with. Thank you guys for the reminder! Now I'm a happy camper
