Yesterday I attempted to lower my s13 coupe I adjusted my coilovers to lower almost an inch, after it was adjusted I measured the from the fender to the ground and noticed it hadn't lowered at all. I'm hoping someone can help me why this might be, the only thing I could think of is the flca might not be allowing it to lower. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Maybe your shocks are bottomed out not allowing your car to drop lower.

How did you lower it on the coilovers? did you compress the spring more, or did you change the mount position.

Did you measure it right after you lowered the car off the jacks?

Your springs may be caught up on the mount collar, if so you will hear a loud pop when they settle after driving it around.
