Eibach Pro settling?

Just installed eibach pro springs and don't see any drop in the front. Do they take awhile to "settle" or is the drop not that noticeable?

I checked everything was lined up the way it should be. I wound up removing half a coil and lowering it. Now it sits perfect but feels like it is on the bump stop almost instantly. Are the cobalt ss struts shorter or what would be a good replacement that is shorter?

As a Chassis Warranty Engineer (at somewhere else) - DO NOT EVER CUT SPRINGS!!!

The people that designed them have roughly 10X your brain power, and actually tested them exhaustively on that vehicle. Cutting springs is eliminating ALL optimization that the manufacturer did. You are riding on trash. Period.

Eibach is not a preferred spring company for performance. So you bought wrong. If all you care about is appearance, you wasted money buying anything!!!!

Cut your stockers if ur an idiot.

Whatever. People reading this, do not follow this guy's "wisdom". Experts ARE available, just ask.
