Default Questions re. recent coilover install

I recently installed coilovers on my IS250 AWD (yay!) and was hoping someone can chime in on this....

After I installed my coilovers, I measured the distance from ground to fender, and the fronts were exactly 25.5 inches, and the rears were exactly 26'. I should note, stock height was measured at 27 inches.

Will I run into any problems with the fronts sitting @ 25.5 inches from fender to ground, and the rears sitting @ 26 inches?

The mechanic literally threw them in without adjusting anything, and coincidentally enough it was the right amount of drop I was hoping for...

Thanks!

That seems like a great drops for handling wise. It is very similar (almost exact) to my Eibach lower spring drops somehow lol.

thats because most lower springs the max drop you get is between 1' drop to a 1.5' drop. most coils out of the box arent stock height, its usually lower than stock
