Fitted H&R Springs not much difference

I fitted H&R springs, think they only do 30mm for the E-Coupe.

The car does not seem that low and doesn't seem to have made much difference from original. I have been driving it for about 3-4 weeks now as i was told they may settle more but have seen no change?
What do you guys think?

Which H&R springs are these? Sport, etc. Where did you buy them from? They were clearly marked H&R? It almost looks stock. I'm on H&R sport springs and it is very noticeable. See the siggy below.

Man, I don't know. It should definitely be like the picture of my car in white on stock wheels in the signature. That's weird...

Would you be able to get me the part number of your springs so i can see if they are the same or the incorrect ones for my car.

Thanks

Please do not panic

This is very typical with all spring (sport and oem). In order for them to settle you have to ride car for approx 3k miles. Mine eibach setteled after 7k miles. Nothing bad about it. They are new and have to settle. another example is my benz w140. I had oem springs and changed to new also oem, car was so high, after a while it dropped.

I guess so, but I would have thought that the car would be lower to begin with and settle further. That has been the case for me every time I put any kind of lowering suspension on my cars.

I've lowered many cars in the past and this whole "settling" thing isn't really a thing, it might drop fractions of an inch but it's hardly noticeable. You should see instant noticeable results upon installation.

Yeah mate, got your message on there and have replied to it.. got mine from here:

Not so conventional to be ordering from a company in Germany but at the time in the UK there was only really one place that could get the springs and I'd never use them for anything such is their reputation.

Just doesn't look right. Springs for me have always shown immediate results, and my concern was always, I hope they don't settle too low. On the E coupe, often I've seen the rear drops really low, and the front is still kind of high initially. It then settles evenly.
