Well, unless your old springs were unusually tired, there should be an immediate half-inch drop at least. Of course, that's not an absolute... It'll settle over the course of about a month. If not, you may need to "clock" the springs in the insulators, or sometimes they don't get lined up into their pockets quite right. Check and make sure the springs are all well seated.

I had the same parts and same problem on my car. It will take a few weeks to settle to its final drop height.
