Default hotchkis spring drop?

I just installed the hotchkis springs (w/ koni yellows) and I noticed the rear of the car went down immediatley. The front though sits a tick higher than it did stock. I'm sure I installed and seated the springs correctly, so I was just wondering if it sometimes takes a while for the springs to break in and lower or what?

Default Problem solved

Problem solved... had the spring mounts upside down. So instead of being lower, it actually raised the front up. Reinstalled the front shock/sping assembly and it's sitting correctly now. I'm stupid.

FWIW the Hotchkis rear drops like 1/4" more than the front. But yeah, the mounts would do it. :-)
