It'll drop quite a bit overnight, and should be at its final ride height after two days tops, specially if it's taken out for a drive. Don't worry ;) I might have some pics of my -35mm kit before and after it had settled actually..will have a search.

Here are the pics from when I first lowered my car, 31 months ago now! :o

The shot I took of it once it had settled wasn't great, so here are some more pics:

that looked like it was sitting well high!

2 of mine have settled the other 2 haven't, the drivers front and passenger rear look really low but the other 2 are a lot sitting higher any suggestions or will it just take time?

Have you taken it out for a bumpy drive? :lol: It should all settle evenly provided the car isn't extremely wonky!

I just did a quick lap around a housing estate, (not really bumpy roads), I've got a half hour drive to work tomorrow do you think that'll sort it?
