just a quick update. the ride height went down a little bit after two days and the mechanic said this is normal as it takes a bit of time for the suspension to get back to it's normal height especially with stiffer shocks. it still sits about an inch higher than before and this is due to the fact that my old shocks were totally blown out.
the car with the bilstein hds and the daizen sways rides much better now. there was also a popping sound from the back of the car but this was caused by the nut and bolt that holds the end links to the rear sway bar; it was loose. has this happened to anyone else with the daizen sways???
now there is a rubbing sound from the front of the suspension but i think it could be that the bushings need more grease. I will double check later tomorrow; i hope it's not something loose again.
thanks to everyone who replied!!!

loctite is a brand of threadlock compound you apply to the threads of screws so that when you tighten them, they won't become loose through vibration.
