They are not going to settle an inch. Bigred had the proper drop after install....not me! I got an inch in the front and a little over and inch in the back...I have some Q's to those who installed the springs them selves...Just remove the stock ones and replace them with the goldlines right?...You don't have to remove anything else but the trimming of the bump stops right? I have lowered about 10 cars and never had any issues like this before. Help me.

At my work, it has happens on ocassion, product labeling mix up. Perhaps the wrong springs were placed in the wrong labeled box or VS. By any chance did you measure the springs before the install? Or are you able to get a count of the number of coils? Perhaps any of that data can be compaired to data of the correct springs.
Sounds like you did everything correct.
Other than having larger rims.... things seem stock.

No pics after drop lost my digial camera.....It is not nearly as low as yours. I want mine to be as low as yours. I did measure before and after. I got 1" in the front and about 1 3/8" in the back. not much.

I have stock wheeles. Can't compair apples to oranges. Perhaps SoCalHHR will have some input for you when he sees this thread.
The Tripple Lake Pipes also give the illision of mine being even lower.
I forgot what the drop in the front was but the rear for me was about 2.12"

Nothing wrong with the 18's. I don't know how that works in measurements for lowering and that caculations stuff.

I just reread that, it does sound like I was slammin' your rims... I meant it as that you had different than stock, not as an inslut.

Your stock wheels and my 18's have almost the same ride hight (mine are an 1/8 inch shorter) due to tire size. Drop is drop regardless of ride hight.
