Default F-Sport Spring Question

Hey folks, got a quick question I was hoping you could help me with. I have '07 GS350 that I just put wheels and tires ( 245/35/19 & 275/30/19) and dropped it via F-Sport springs. This car is my D/D so I didnt want to get crazy with the drop. My question is 2 parts actually.

1. How long does it take for these springs to "settle"
2. Is it possible for someone to measure their fender height that is running the same springs and is NOT "over spec" on their wheels n tires

Mine is currently 26 5/8" and with that measurement it only lowered it about 3/8". It's only been a couple days since I lowererd it, but I'm curious how much more to expect. Fsport advertises 25mm, and I've only achieved less than half that so far. Trying to decide whether or not to yank these things out and re-install the NF210. Thanks in advance for your help.

^ the gap between the tire and fender is terrible on these cars. Trying to give it a better stance and decrease the gap

^ sorry, i misread your first post.. i say give it little more time, but the drop on f-sport is pretty conservative to begin with..

F-Sport springs are the most conservative springs out there in terms of drop height. When I had my NF210's installed they were literally almost perfect drop height. Enough to get rid of most of the gap but not low enough to scrape on the daily!
