Neuspeed Race lowering springs problem

I just installed the Neuspeed Race springs on my 2k1 coupe. the front is aswsome drop, but the rear has about 3-4 finger gap. i've done some searching, and i've noticed some people just let it settle, but i was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what did they do >

Only thing you can do is to let it settle.

i got the eibach sportlines installed last night and mine is the other way around, the back dropped way more than the front, but i hear to just give it 2 or 3 weeks to fully settle.

I've had the Neuspeed Race springs on for over 4 months now...LOVE THEM. But yes, the rears are kinda stiff to begin with. Just let them settle and soon they will be lower than the fronts. TRUST ME. Mine only took about a week to fully settle. One day and they looked good. So don't worry. You're fine.

Thanks for the replies guys.

But yeah, to solve my problem, i just put weights in my trunk, and after about a week the drop went from a 4 finger gap to a 2 finger gap.

Ditto. I installed my Neuspeed race springs last summer. I cut the bump-stops to about 1.25. I still had about a 1 1/2 finger gap until about a month ago. Recently I noticed almost no gap at all. I do a lot of city driving in downtown Denver (bumpy as hell!) so I think between that and a little extra weight in the back (if you want), you'll definitely settle nice.
