New springs, WOW!!!

After much deliberation, I finally decided to respring the car ('03 Centennial GT), I went back and forth about what springs to go with and in the end went with the Ford Racing "B" springs.
All I can say is WOW! The car looks quite a bit better. Haven't measured it yet but it's definitely lower, but what really surprises me is that I love the ride. It feels so much more solid and in control but without being harsh at all. Gotta say, I'm very happy with it.

Funny thing, after actually measuring the trim height, it appears that the car is only a half inch lower in the rear, and virtually unchanged at the front. It must be me but I swear it "looks" lower but the tape measure doesn't lie.
So my next question is; The rear dropped what I expected, why didn't the front drop?

Looks good. Nice 'real world' drop. Looks lower, but not enough to scrap every twig on the road.

how much did the "B" spring claim it would drop the car?

Maybe the springs need time with the weight of the car on them to settle??

+1 on that! The springs should settle in a couple of weeks. Do you have aftermarket shocks and struts? Just curious, I know the stock ones are pretty sad.
