I have a similar setup, H-techs with Tokico Blue shocks, and the drop was about 1.3inches. That's odd that you dropped that much. You sure it's the H-Techs not the S-Techs?

you probably have a lot of weight in your trunk?

I took pics but i didnt get a chance to load them.. the trunk has my old springs and shocks in it. I had a 3.5 finger gap, now its barely a finger.. Box def. says h tech, and the part number matches tein's web site for the correct part. Will post pics tonight.

for the first month you shouldnt relaly have SOo much weight in the back seat/trunk.. get those springs/shocks outa the trunk and leave it empty.. drive alone for a little while..
you CAN remove them and ask for a new set since the settle was unusual... u might be able to pull it off .. either way, it still looks good
good luck

i wouldnt be complaining, the car is still too high for me... i would drop it another inch. i think if you decide to swap springs to have it higher it will be way too high, but it's your car so go with whatever YOU like 
btw, those painted wheels are hot

I am liking the drop too. Its just more than I expected. Pre drop: 4 fingers in front, 3.5 back.
now its 2 fingers in front, 1 back. shocks are great, have them set at 1 and 2, rides stock but less body roll. alignment done, once they have broken in more may set then at 2/2.
thanks all.
