Default apex lowering springs
just fitted these springs today and the rear looks like at has gone down a bit but the front ones dont look like they have much. they are 30mm drop ones. has been years since i have fitted lowering springs to a car. do they take a while to bed in and drop ???

It'll settle down after a hundred miles or so IMO.

My Eibachs were the same. My Meister R's took about 200 before they'd finished settling.

Surely they will all settle? Not just the front?

That's what I'm wondering, if the back is visibly lower and the front isn't. Surely if the fronts are gonna 'settle' then the rear will as well??

You did fit them the right way round? The rear and front springs are different.
