make sure you did put the springs at the right place (front and rear)
new shocks and springs take time to settle. usually it takes like a week or so for the spring to SAG to the right height.

i talked to tokico tech support and all he said was to make sure that everything is installed correctly. i checked it and everything seems to be in order. the car drives/turns, a little stiffer but nothing too bad. i also called the seller and he said give it a MONTH for them to settle in b/c of NEW shocks and NEW springs. i really hate the way it looks it looks exactly like stock suspension. i even put on the old rims to see if it looks any lower, but still nothing. A REALLY NEED SOME HELP.

stock tire to new 16" u prob added like 2"
u gave a 1.75" drop over stock
you old *** 1997 stock susp wont be at stock hight any more. the prings wear and sag.

you can always cut off a couple of coils on the springs to drop a bit more hight.
ps do it out of the car and remove the peice u cut off and u have to still align with the spot where the spring stops
