Car didn't get any lower?!?!?
I had the front of my Si on coil sleeves "slammed" all the way down they are in the right way.... The back was on Lowering springs , but today I decided to "slam" the back and when we got everything in and took it off the jack it didn't get any lower than the springs.... EVEN THOUGH the front and BACK are now on coil sleeves front and back perches are alllll the way down ... Any suggestions ?? Do I need to wait for the springs to get all settled in

Are you talking about front upper control arms that have adjustable ball joint/camber?
Not sure what ^that just said...
If you JUST put them on, then yes, they need to settle. Usually takes a good 5-7 days out of the box.

Like youve got the strut bolt that goes throw the LCa and strut then youve got the LCa bolt That goes to the subframe bar then youve got the bolt that connects the brake hub to the LCa the head I That bolt snapped off so I never bothered to put on LCa since I have to drill it out
