B12's fitted

I installed a set of Bilstein B12's after I won them on ebay for a very very good price
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121187306284?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
They have been on the car for a week but don't seem to have lowered the car at all, how long should they take to settle?? I have done approx 300 miles in that week also.
And here is how my skoda is sitting after a week with them on.
Cheers
Karl

Umm should have read it properly
Yeah mate that's a bit on the high side
Might explain why they moved to H&R's and then Eibach's

here is the only pic I got of the actual kit I fitted, when it stops raining I will get a better pic of the actual springs
if it does not settle down im thinking about fitting some H&R 50mm drop springs.

The seller has a couple more sets for cheap too. I'll keep an eye on them, but I don't think they will lower the GTi any more than standard. Unless I am mistaken?

I will be getting my kit fitted this friday, but I'm using some eibach sport line springs. Got the kit from the same guy as you, just for the dampers really!
