Tein S Tech help!

Hi fellas! I lowered my G with Tein S Tech spring last week, the front came out what they were suppose to look like, but the rear still have the big gap, actually it got worst from my measurement before and after install. I was thinking it will "sit" more after at least a week, but unfortunately it's still the same gap till now (one week after install) I already double check my install, i took em off and put them back, but still no luck. Do you guys have any tips or idea on how to correct this? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Picture: It's the post #299 car!

be patient, give it some time to settle, it's only been a week man. I remember reading somewhere it took a month for some guy to finally settle. I've had mine on for almost 4 weeks now and they're still not settled fully.

^ after spring installation only, no cutting. But it doesnt matter about the cutting, it's your springs that havent settled yet. So I don't know I guess it's a safe bet to say give it a month to fully settle, and if you're still not happy, then cut some more.
I'm waiting till I put wheels on to see if I'm going to require the springmount, I'm pretty sure I will but just in case I'm not cutting anything till the wheels go on.

^ just keep the ruler handy for measuring man, heh, I got one in my car I check every few days to see if it's dropped any. Nice car by the way, looking at it closely you just gave me an idea to get see through clearcorners instead of the smoked kind that I have on right now. That way it'll blend in with the color of the car. I got the smoked to match my blacked out headlights, I see you got yours done too.
