Question Steering Knuckle Upgrade Question

Hello there,
I just got my car back from the shop from having some work done. Part of wich included installing the compitition steering knuckles.

After wards, myself and the shop owner noticed that the new steering knuckles lowered the vehical about an inch.

Has anyone ealse noticed this as well?

Maybe it is a 1/2 inch. It's hard to tell exactly because I didnt measure it before. And since I had other work being done a the same time The shop had my car for like 3 days.
