Agreed. They will settle over the period of a couple weeks. There is no special break in method, just go out and drive normally.

I guess you could swerve alot, but it might upset other drivers and your local law enforcement...

yeah they should get a little lower as they settle and stuff... theres not really anything you need to do to break them in... i've had 2 sets of eibach sportlines on diff cars and I just drove like i always do after i put them in.. they'll settle on their own
