Are you sure you didn't get the "Race" springs when you were expecting the "Sports"? Race's will give you a 2.2 inch drop, while sports give you ~1.5.

The reason I'm so suprised is because most people complain that the springs ride HIGHER than expected, especially with the H&R/Bilstein setup. This is because the Bilsteins give you about +1 inch, so when you combine that with the lowering spring, you end up with a ride height that is just about stock.

As for the original poster that is worried about camber, I say don't worry. I lowered my car with H&R Coilovers, but right now I only set them to lower the front by an inch. When I got an alignment, I was still within factory camber tolerances. So a drop of .8 should give you no problems.
