It will take some time to break in. it should even out as well. what springs did you put on because when i put my stechs on i could tell a difference immediately but it could be different with different spring heights.

these must be the TRD ones...you'll notice a difference in about 2 weeks

cars tend to settle unevenly because there is more weight on once side than the other (driver, transmission)

now, i did trd struts and springs, and i didn't notice alot of drop in the front, the rear is extremly noticible, you should be able to see it in the rear for sure.

now i'm wondering if replacing struts are the same time as springs helps prevent uneven settling... cause i didn't have any unevenness with my drop.

I would suggest the S-techs. Thats what I have. I have 18's they dont tuck but there is no wheel gap. Looks great, takes a few weeks to settle. Definitely lower!
