I've just bought 30mm lowering springs for the front of my car to improve handling. Had it done by a garage and I am not sure if they were put on correctly? my car looks way too high at the front from what i can remember on stock springs and obviously I have bought the right springs. Was wondering if they have put the springs wrong way up or what? I've heard that progressive springs should be put where the coils are closer to each other on top not like the one on my car.

do you think i should justr wait and let them settle?
give it 20k miles and they should of started to collapse nicely
By having them this way round it will result is a crashy ride at lower speeds as they have already taken the laden weight or the car and are already fully compressed. When they are the other way round they will be more progressive at the rate they compress.
so which way is better? lol
so having them around the other way makes the car lighter so it doesn't compress the springs so much
You will need to check tyre to wheel rim clearance especially on cornering and front spoiler clearance on roads with sleeping policemen

But that looks very high - are they the correct springs?
Think it looks higher than normal because i got the rear lowered a bit too + 14inch alloys lol
