H&R Sport Springs drop not as specs

Got my H&R Sport springs 50104 this morning and I was ready. Had the old ones off and Bam! they were on. Measured...Drove it around for about 50 miles and measured again...Hmm well, Specs say (Front 1.4" and (Rear 1.3"). Well I got the (1.3" Rear @ 1 1/4" with my measuring stick) but the (Front 1/2" drop only) whats going on here?

thanks for a answer... I thought it might be a bit stiffer in the front because of the motor, so the weight will soon get to it.

h&r drop is minimal...
eibach = comptech = h&r > aspec
but they are all minimal and on the eibach/comptech/h&r the rear will look saggy

h&r + koni yellows = puresex

yeah man, I am setup for a set of Koni's. From what I read that is the way to go with the H&R Sport springs. I measured from under the car at the jack spot and the front and rear are sitting 5 7/8" from the garage floor. So its not like the front didn't drop. So I should be happy that the car is level...

You installed CT Springs and you still have a gap? Were they lowering springs? Something just don't sound right.
