Default Maxspeed Lowering Springs

I was wondering if anyone was running Maxspeed lowering springs. They advertise a 2" drop so i bought a set installed them and it didnt drop as much as i thought it would.
So i drove the car let the springs settle a bit and after 6 weeks its still the same height. Did I get ripped off? I know you get what you pay for but i was expecting a decent drop even if it did ride like crap.
If you guys have pics of Mustangs with these springs or what a 2" drop should look like, i would appreciate it.

Did you take measurements before you pulled the stock springs off and put the drop's in? You really need to use shorter shocks and struts with your drop springs to get the best performance and stance. Take a look at the pictures of my mustang in my gallery profile, I've got a 3" drop on mine.

I would've taken measurements but the stock springs were cut. It was low but rode like crap. So i found these Maxspeeds, installed them and they raised it 2". I know i should have waited and installed a decent set up, but the harsh ride was killing me.

by the way, how do your car ride with the Eibach set up? I assume they are the sportlines.

I have the Eibach pro kit springs, along with Eibach shocks, struts and sway bars.
