Default installed RSR lowering springs, rear didnt get lower

hey guys i installed rsr lowering springs on my rc350 f sport RWD the front is lowered very nice but i didnt get any drop on the rear, any ideas what could be wrong? did i put in the springs wrong? i have the RSR marking on the springs facing the wheels, should they be facing towards the front end of the car? any help is appreciated. i contacted RSR and the guy wasnt really helpful

I have an awd and when i put the springs on the back didnt seem to change either its bc i believe the back springs were already low compared to the awd front so the front is noticeable but the back drop isnt. I had tanabes put on mine.

Maybe they didnt settle in yet?

Sorry thought i pmd u back on that one. Phillips screw driver
Open the hood
Ull see a few holes that lead to adjusting the headlights. US models i believe one hole is on the far right. I Forget about the left side probabaly the same. Put the screwdriver in turn ur headlights on and adjust as u please

Did you put those aftermarket wheels and tire on at the same time of lowering the car? What size tires are on it now?
