Sedan S-tech confusion

Alright, so I recently lowered my '06 Sedan on Tein S-Techs (the sedan springs) and the results are no less than confusing.

This is the amount of drop by corner from stock ride height.

Front:
FR/L = -1.805" (-45.83mm)
FR/R = -1.367" (-34.73mm)

Rear:
RR/L = -2.21" (-56.3mm)
RR/R = -1.821" (-46.27mm)

So....

1. The front is suppose to drop by 2", which only the FR/L was close. The FR/R is .7" away.
2. The rear was suppose to only drop 1.3", and dropped more than the front.
3. The left to right difference of the vehicle is now .5".

I checked the spring seats, bolt positions, etc... with no problems found.

Anyone else ever have results like this?
Advise?

Thanks....

How long has it been? The springs need to settle a little. Takes normally 2 weeks.

The S-techs lower more than normally expected.

Its only been about a week.

The 2" drop in the rear was WAY unexpected out of the box. I mean, right now my car looks like a dog dragging it's butt across the floor.

I had my car on the alignment rack 3 days in a row trying to get the rear adjusted in, even with a camber and toe adjust kit, still no luck. Fortunately I have my own Hunter machine and didn't have to pay for an alignment.

Is 2" in the RR normal? How about the .5" side-to-side?

You guys running Coilovers find that you have to adjust each corner a different amount to level the car?

Thanks for everyone's help.
