I have fitted the Rear Drivers side today (4x4 Sapphire Lowering Spring) and the car no sits 10mm higher 
If you compare the standard spring to the Sapphire Lowering Spring they both look the same height but the 4x4 Sapphire Spring has 3 coils that are packed tigher at the bottom.
Do I need to fit the other side for anything to take effect or should I at least see some difference with just the drivers side fitted when it's lowered to the ground???

Have only put them on the rear as of yet, too be honest it hasn't really made much of a difference i.e. Lowered any but they did fit lol 
. I haven't driven the car since they were fitted so I don't know if it's made any difference to the handling. Still unsure whether to go through all the mither of doing the front if the rear hasn't dropped.
I think Aaroncast has a fair point though with the progressive springs comment above, maybe the poundage is different

Hi, Have you still not drove the car yet mate, as when i fitted mine the lowering springs looked as if they were sitting exactly the same ride height as the standard ones in the garage, till i drove it and they sat perfect after that. compared springs when they were both off and looked the same size aswell!
