Default car doesnt look lowered

i got Skunk2 lowering springs which is supposed to lower the car 2 inches with kyb shocks and 16 inch rims but my car still looks the same height...so do i get 14 or 15 inch rims to get it lower and the tires arent fat

Can you post pics of the car after installing the springs? It'd help a lot.

Did you already have those rims and tires? If not, maybe you need to look at the aspect ratio of your tires.

Does the car itself look lower? The wheel wells look a little empty which makes it look like it is not lowered, but that could just be misleading.

interesting... that wheel gap does look a bit too much. but i would wait a week till they settle in first before jumping into conclusion. i'm sure its lowered though
