Default HKS Springs ?

I just put on some HKS Springs and I was wondering if they settle anymore. The specs on the springs show frnt. 27mm and rear 29mm and I they are really close to that now...but just from you guys that have had yours longer...is there anymore settlement in the spring? Thanks

How much more would you think your car settled? That's a very clean ride. Loving the amuse front lip. Also did you cut your bump stops any?

Here are the before and after pics taken the day my springs were installed:




The after shot was about three hours after the springs went on.


And here are a couple of current pics. Not really the same angle but you can tell it's a little lower now:




I you want I can try and snap some pics from a similar angle as the before/after pics and post 'em up. Let me know.
