If the springs are new they probably will settle. Give 'em a few weeks of driving on...

NF's are a conservative drop IIRC. I've had Eibachs (also conservative) on 3 cars now, they've all settled about 1/4-1/2". That doens't mean Tanabe's will, though...

I would say less than a week's time if you are driving the car everyday
