Default How low did your leafs settle

I am flirting with blocking my trans am. I have hotchkis leafs that were supposed to drop it 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Well, if you look at the pic the rear is not even close to dropping even an inch. I was told that these would settle as soon as I start driving it.

How much will these actually settle?

Thanks

Before you panic, finish putting the car together. It does look pretty high, but it does not look like there is a deck lid on the car or interior. Also, fuel tank and fuel will cause it to settle some. To get an idea put a 200 pound guy in the trunk and then look at it.

If it is not low enough once you have driven it a little, you could find a spring shop and have them de arched.

Just my $.02.
