Default L-Sportline springs....eibach?

I just installed a set of L-sprotline shox/springs. The springs are made by eibach. I adjusted the perch so its at the lowest setting. The springs didnt lower the car as much as i'd like them to. Im just wondering if anyone know, will these Eibachs sag after 3-6months? I need to lower the car by just 1/2" more in the back.

Also about cutting springs. On the eibachs, theres like 2 or 3 dead coils for the rears. Is it ok to cut a dead coil and lower my car 1/2 more inches? I've heard ppl say cutting a dead coil is ok but im not too sure. My local speed shop says they need to cut 1/2 coil to lower about 1/2 inch more. But if these springs will sag, then of course im not going to cut a coil. Thanks for any info...

The car will be lower a little (most likely less than 0.5") and settle down after a week or so.

I noticed that my car settled after about a month...lost about 1/2 to 3/4 inches.
After putting my sounds in the car settled even more...I would guess a total of a inch...

As for cutting your springs, I wouldn't do it. just incase you want to sell it later...
