the drop is ~1.75".. and you probably ADDED ~1" with 16's and big tires. 15's on 195 are all you need

Big tires? A 195/50 15 is bigger in diameter than a 205/40 16, and 205/40's are lo pro by my standards.

ok when I was compressing the old ones I compared them with the new ones and the new once looked to be around 2 inches shorter. ill call tokico as soon as they open to see what they say, cuz I really have no idea.

This is actually how these springs are supposed to work. They don't lower for ----. My friend actually just put them on his Accord and got VERY similar results, it only lowered him around an inch.

Excuse the dirty car, he drove through a snow storm to the meet.

The only thing wrong with your suspension is that you didn't research the parts you installed on it thoroughly enough.
