Just put them in and I'm kinda disappointed. The ride is harsh and I'm only seeing 1/8-1/4" drop so far. I'm hoping they soften up and lower a bit more. I was looking for a 1" drop without compromising ride quality. I liked how smooth my car WAS. I've only put ~20 miles on them.

That doesn't sound right. Are you sure you have everything seated correctly with the rubber spacers the springs sit on?

I just put the Tanabe NF210 on my car, and the drop is a little over 1" in front and a little less in back. The Fsports are supposed to be similar in drop, but the spring rate it 20% stiffer than stock. The nf210s are only 5% stiffer. My ride is as close to stock as I could have hoped for. Very pleased.

Checked all of that before I slapped them back on. It's already dropped another 1/4" so I'm just going to give it time. It definitely feels 20% stiffer than stock.

I would also drive it a bit before going in for the alignment...especially since it is settling so much.

How many miles are on your shocks? Did you install new mounts?

I'm assuming they're the original shocks with 70k. I didn't see a reason to replace the rubber as they all looked great. The struts all seemed fine judging by how it previously rode and moving the piston by hand. It rode like a dream with the stock springs on the same struts.
