Really strange bud? Mines not very low but more than that? Mine did take a while to settle?

You could see it a bit lower, than after few hundred miles was lots better. The garage evan said after i took it back few weeks later that it was lower.

I still think mines only gone down by about 20mm tho.

It'd be nice having them adjustable so you can set it up how you want.  Surely coiovers down 30 30mm and shocks and springs down 30mm isn't going to have that much difference?
