New King SL springs fitted, front WAY too high

[sirchAU]

Ok so it's been a week since I got a pair of King Super Low springs (2nd hand) and brand new Ultima shortened shocks fitted to my AU, part #'s KFFL-57SL (front) and KFRL-27SL (rear).

The rear has begun to settle in nicely, but the fronts are looking higher than ever. What's going on here? What could cause this? Anyone with any knowledge on this, please help!

I don't know what to do, some people have said to be patient and that it'll continue to drop over the next month or so. Others have said they're no good and won't get anywhere near as low as I'd like. I'm pretty ****sed about it tbh. The rear is perfect as it sits now, but the front is even higher than the original Tickford springs i had. It looks awful.

It's got me worried and thinking about getting my old Tickford front springs put back in, as I was actually reasonably happy with the height of those at the front, but just felt the rears were too high. I know it's only been a week and I have only done about 250km on them since they were put in, but I'm really worried that they just won't get as low as I'd like. They're supposed to be Super Lows, not standard height! Anyway, I've decided to just wait and see for the next couple of weeks and keep my fingers crossed that they drop and even out soon. But it's causing me a fair bit of anxiety, and it just looks **** IMO.

Here's some pics to show you what I mean (mind you, being parked on an incline makes it look even worse).








Springs when I got them, previous owner apparently only did 5,000km in them before swapping back to stock as it was "too low for towing". Showed me a pic of how they sat on his car, looked really good.


And here's a before and after.

AFTER


As you can see, the front is a tad lower in the before pic (only by probably 10mm, but still lower).

I'm stumped! Has anyone else got any experience similar to this when lowering their cars?

Thanks in advance for any helpful info and advice.

Cheers,
Chris
