Finally dropped her!
I still need to take some good pics but here are some I took last weekend and you can get the picture, it looks much better, but is still settling in, the front is actually a bit lower now that it has settled more than in the pics, but now I have a very small degree of negative camber.
Anyways thank you again to the guys at DPR for taking care of me (they also installed some 4.10s for me at the same time).

BTW they are H&R Supersports.

H&R Super Sports ...
Had those on for about a week. I was driving my car like it was on egg shells.
I would scrape the bottom end on speed bumps, rough roads and the ride
was a little to harsh for me. I felt like a teenager in a import boncing up
and down roads like a ping pong. If you live in an area where the roads are
super smooth like at a race track - then these springs are for you.
I would have gone with their H&R OE Sport springs instead. 1 inch drop in the
front and 3/4 inch in the rear. Looks Great though !!!
You might just be regreting it later down the road.

H&R OE Sport Springs

not much mind you. Drop my baby 1 inch all the way around. I've had a few
minor issues -> but still a good mod. Am switching to the H&R OE springs
- pretty much like the Steeda UltraLite Springs. Too much of a drop will make your ride quality go out the door !!
Am switching in about a month to the H&R OE Springs - I'll write up a review then.

If you don't mind what did it run you to do that ? Is DPR in OC or closer to SD ?? I'm up in North OC and when my car arrives lowering it is one of the first things I need and I'd like to find a good shop in this area ?
Thanks

I look forward to a review of those as the H&R OE's are the one's I have my eye on...

When I spoke to engineer/test driver who works at Eibach, he told me and another friend that "Springs shouldn't settle"... if they do, they were not
good springs to begin with...
After installing a set of Eibach springs on a previous car I owned (99 Acura Integra GSR) I never saw any settleing or dropping lower than advertised. Now the RSR springs I had on my 98 Acura Integra GSR before that, they dropped a little more than I wanted.
