Default Does the rear shocks take a while to settle back in?

hey guys,

i just finished installing the hks hi power exhaust. i had to put jack stands on the both sides of the rear. after i finished and took out the stands the rear end is still high. like the shocks hasn't settled back down yet. is this right? if so, how long should this take. its been like 30mins or so......

i hope i didn't mess up the rear suspension...

Have you moved the vehicle at all? The tires are most likely grabbing a bit from the camber as a result of being lifted. Move the car forward and back a few feet, or just go for a spin around the block. Should solve it. If not, you might have a bigger problem on your hand; but I doubt it.
