Default Just lowered

I just lowered my 99 eclipse with TEIN springs saturday night. The car doesnt look too lowered though. I was told that the car has to settle. How long does that usually take? The front looks lower right now so i guess its lowering faster in the rear.

Take it for a drive. It shouldnt take very long to settle.
Did you lighten the car at all?

Read the paperwork that came with the springs. Im not sure where i remember seeing it, but i remember reading somewhere that the TEIN S tech spring are garunteed not to settle more than 5mm or something. I put mine on and the front was definately lower, and the back didnt look like it was lowwered as much as the front, but it was noticable.
