Dropped but notice any difference?

I lowered my ride on H&R Sport springs about two weeks ago. I have let it settle down for a while before taking these "before" and "after" shots. I believe it sits somewhat lower than before when I look at it it in person parked outside but when I compare the photos, I do not see a whole lot of difference.

How about you ....Do you guys notice a difference? Am I just paranoid or too picky? Will it settle lower given more time?

Your opinion is much appreciated.

(The top photo of the pair is "before" the bottom one is "after)

It looks like it dropped 1/2 - 1 inch front and back.
Great looking ride!

I do. I think it's more noticeable in the back but there def is a difference in ride height.

thanks for the post i've been considering similar springs nice to see the before and after shots. I'm still back and forth between the h&r sport and eibach pro-kit. trying to stay somewhat conservative

First of all, thank you all for the kind words and opinions posted so far.

Secondly, I chose H&R for the same reason. The drop is more conservative. Plus, even with 265's w/ 15 mm spacers in the rear, there was no need to roll the fender. That may change if I decide to go to 275's If I change the wheels in the future or I may have to take out the spacers. So far, everything is cool. No scraping even with passengers in the back seat. I just have to be more careful of speed bumps and pot holes though.

Thanks again ...

I notice the drop, its subtle, but nice. I especially like the front drop, it gives your car a better stance.
