The front doesn't look low at all. The back looks ok.

I've just read stories how after even 8 MONTHS the car dropped another 1/2 inch.
Here are the skunk2 springs (8 front, 9 back) settled in about 2 days:

Hopefully it'll drop some more iA.
I'm thinking about it. But if anything I'll pre-load the front only. I'll wait about 2 more weeks, before I get an alignment, I'll pre-load. I doubt that's gonna work since I read a lot of posts that it doesn't solve anything.
People went as far as cutting the front springs, but they didn't wait more than a week or so.
I'll see;

if your worried about the drop only, cut the springs. if you're concerned about your suspension and the overall performance and well being of the car, pre-load the suspension.
it will help a little bit, nothing miraculous, but you won't run into problems such as clunking and destroyed bushings a year down the line if you go back and do the preload. you wont notice it right now...but most likely you over-torqued some stuff under the car by not preloading.
i'm just saying if it was my car, i would go back and use that whole "right thing" stuff i was talking about.
