i say wait a few days then take it to get it aligned. The probably will settle after a few hours of driving but to save some hassle just wait a few days and get an alignment.

Re: Settling of suspension
I just lowered my car with KYB's and ProLines this Sunday and had an alignment done today at Honda. The drop is different at all four corners of the car. Can I expect the springs to "Settle" any more or is there a problem? And by the way it handles GREAT!! And the guys and gals at KYB are AWESOME!!!!! They don't mind answering any questions you might have about the shocks/strutrs,granted they are KYB of course. I'm going to call Eibach to see what the "Break In" time is,if any. But any info anyone has here would be appreciated.

. the wheel gap should be the same in the front and same in the rear (granted u are running same size tires). so i dont see how it can handle great if ur springs are all f'ed up!id wait a couple days b4 getting an alignment tho. eventually they will settle more over time but its not going to drastically get lower.
