Agreed with The Monty, give it a month, mine weren't that great (SL's) but after a month they sat pretty much level on the tyre. Glad I didn't go SSL's as my diff has already been used as an excavation tool on some nasty ungraded dirt roads

a lot of people complain the rear doesnt go down low enough in the earlier e series too.
but when they fit the new lowered springs they forget to undo the control arm bolts and bounce the car to let it settle, the bushes in the control arms were originally tightened at standard height and with the lower springs in the bushes are actually holding the rear up a bit. the bushes can fail from being 'loaded' up like this. setting over a month is sometimes the rubber delaminating from the bush the control arm bolts can be tightened once the car is sitting with its full weight on the rear springs/wheels. best off done on ramps or a drive on hoist.

agree with Craig (my67xr) adjusting the rear control arm bolts to allow the diff to settle on the new springs is a must when changing the rear springs. I didn't fit my springs personally but I know mine were fit that way and the car settled almost immediately afterward. Then about a week later the car dropped in height another 5mm or so.

im guessing no irs?
upper and lower arms need to be loosened, then bounce the body a few times, get in the boot and jump up and down the wheels need to be on the ground or on ramps or do it over a pit when u tighten the bolts up again
