Default Not Lower?

I put my front eibach sportline springs and KYB gas adjust struts in the frunt since theres no rear end right now and its not lower in the front maybe a little but not noticable. Im wondering if i have to let it set or something. i thought it should be lower right when you put them in?

It will be, but you have most of the rear weight supported by something other than the axle and it isn't sitting like it will with an axle in it. Don't panic until you get it down on the ground properly (with an axle in it) and reassemble the car. It will be fine, but you can't tell anything with it half way on jackstands, etc.

Don't worry, you'll be fine. I've seen this same thing and they set the car down and went "duh"....

Get it back together and then let us know.
