just got brand new FK frotn springs fitted with brand new gmax shocks -40mm

rear springs 2nd hand off icy, gmax, but with brand new gmax shocks,

-40mm again, jsut wondering if they will need time to settle? would like the front a bit lower, and was thinking because the front are new and the shocks are new they nee settling, as for the rears the rear springs are used but the shocks aint so will they need settling then it will drop a bit more? i got a heavy build in the boot and 17s , site aout 1inch above tyre, maybe a bit less, about about 1 or 2inch above at front, think icy has the same setup , fk front, gmax rear and his fronts well low like i'd wnt mine, so hoping they ill settle

but the front is higher than the back even without the build, and the fk springs are lower than what gmax are so shouldnt be, maybe settle (i hope)
