Hey Will... The RF on my car was about 1/8" - 3/16" higher than the LF from the factory. I've measured this serveral times on several different surfaces over the past few weeks, so I would have good "baseline" numbers before I did my drop, and the measurments came out about the same every time. Now, after my drop with the Tanabe's, my RF is almost 1/4" (about 7/32") higher than the LF, however the rear is exactly level, so I am seeing similar results as you.

So far I have seen about .80" drop in the front and .70" drop in the rear with the Tanabe's, which ends up being nce and level. They may settle in a little more, as I've only put about 100 miles on the car since the drop, but I'm hoping they don't drop too much more.. FYI, Tanabe calls out for a 1" drop in the front with these springs, so I may have another .2" to settle.

You also probably had more passengers in your car than me. Thanks for the info on the drop.

Nope, just me mostly... and my wife in the passenger's seat for a short trip to go out to dinner on Sat night, but she doesn't weigh much.

Maybe I just need to take more measurments in other locations and maybe they'll be different.

Yeah, you might want to try a couple of different parking lots, as some are sloped slightly for drainage and this could affect your measurements. Although, I measured in my garage and in 2 local parking lots and the measurements in all 3 places were almost identical (within 1/16").

I measured in my garage and it was 1/4 off. It looks like it's evening out though, just by eying it. I'll measure tomorrow and let you know.

Cool. Keep us posted on what happens. I'll let you know if mine changes over the next week. I have a principal in town later this week, so I will be racking up the miles with a passenger, so hopefully that will accelerate the settling process.

Thanks for the compliment. I didn't keep the springs, didn't see the point.
