The car is still stock height. Do i have to weigh the car down to help the springs settle? How long do they take to drop the 1"?

They will probably settle a little bit but you might not see much depending on how old and worn out you suspesion was prior to install. It could be that your car was already sagging due to worn out suspesion. I know this sounds weird but I have heard of this happening and I have a feeling that when I do mine, I will probably be one of the few cars that goes up instead of down.

it takes 2 weeks for the springs to fully settle, i noticed a very samll drop, eneded up trimming the springs to get better results, are the fronts indexed properly?

your most likely not noticing the drop because the origional springs were sagging. Like said above, make sure they are indexed properly, and give them a few weeks to settle. see what happens. If you are not happy with them, trim them a bit.

Mine looked higher after install, it settled a bit after a few weeks, but it's definitely not a 1" drop from where my old sagging springs were.

I'm one of the guys that had the front raise up after installing them. The back springs did lower somewhat to even it out.

Any update? pics?
