Hi I've put lowering springs on my car (springs with standard shocks) and it don't look any lower on the front, have I done something wrong ? I've been looking at shorter drop link arms to see if that'll help. Any help will be great thanks.

Lowering springs with standard shocks = loose springs.

I suppose it depends on the stiffness or 'k' value of the springs, a shorter but stiffer spring = same ride height, were they specifically for your car with any info on stiffness and expected ride height? Maybe worth getting tracking checked once you do get it lower.
