Default If they are brand new then...

It should take a few drives for them to soften up a bit and lower a tad more. I installed new neuspeeds on my a4 and it took a bit for them to break in completely

It could take several weeks or a couple hundred miles for the springs to eventually settle. Is it too high still? It may settle another .25-.5" when its all done. For me, I did not want to take any chances, so I bought H&R coilovers from the begining. Although it was very costly, I know I could choose the exact height I was looking for.

Even if you only set the height ONCE, there is no way to end up dissatisfied with your ride height.
