I have Eibachs and they definitely need some time to settle. The pic in my sig was taken before the back settled, hence it looks funny but it looks great now.

They will settle in a couple of days. But they arent going to settle and make the car any more level than it is currently. Do you know if they removed any of the rear shims? If you want the car to sit level you may want to put these back in.

The back of my car looks great but the front looks like it needs to come down and does the ride get any softer or does it stay real stiff. the picture in my profile is with out the new springs.

Can you please post pics of the car from the side? I'm thinking of doing Eibach too. On a scale of from 1-10 and 10 being stock.....what would you rate the Eibach as far as comfort/stiffness? i.e. 7 or 8? What size tires are you running?
Feedback I've gotten is that Eibach drop quicker than H&Rs. H&R's are supposed to drop more though.

Eibach 1.2 for both front and rear.
H&R 1.5 F and 1.3 R.

i just put my rims back on and honestly my rear dropped perfectly but my front doesnt look like anything happened how much time do these springs need to settle. i rarely drive my car it just sits outside all the time the springs are on a week and i put only about 90 miles on the car since and what size rims do you have i have 20's and i hope my car drops like yours.
