So I lowered my car but it isnt any.... umm... lower???
I bought bmr 1.25" lowering springs. I put the rears on and the body only sits 1/4" lower than before. I really don't get it?

Drive it around and see if the suspension settles.

Also, you are supposed to loosen up all the suspension bushings and 'bounce' the car to take the tension off the bushings and help the car settle down.

The bushings have to be "clocked" or "timed". With all the weight of the car on the tires the bolts holding the bushings need to be loosened so they can find their natural position. You will need an alignment so ask the shop to do it. They won't settle unless this is done.

Get yourself a nice young lady in the back seat and get to helping those springs to settle in!
