Default Tanabe DF210 Series

Whats up all,
I just had DF210's installed on my 06 GS300. It sits nice and low in the rear but the front is still sitting pretty high. It looks like I have a load of **** in the trunk. I took it to another garage to be sure they were installed properly and they said it looks all good. I started looking into it and Tanabe uses the same kit for the 06 GS430. This sounds messed up to me because that V8 has to weigh atleast 400lbs more that the V6, I'm sure those same springs sit alot lower in the 430. I know these are a popular springs for this car but I havent heard anyone else complaining.... did I just get a bad set or something. Anyone else have this problem?

I appreciate your help.

Hey fellas, how is the ride quality compared to the stock springs? Is it much stiffer or just slightly but still comfortable?

The ride is stiffer, but still very pleasant. The car feel much sportier yet comfortable.
