Do my new coilovers/shocks need to "break in"?
Me and some of my friends installed my skunk2 adjustable coilovers and shocks lst night, and we set it as low as it can go and honestly it doesnt look that low to me. It's low enought to where if I try and stick my finger straight in between my wheel well and tire it wont fit, but I want it to look a LITTLE lower. ill get some pics. Since they are brand new do they neew to "break in" to drop more? Or am I stuck where im at height wise? Also the ride is SUPER bumpy, it kinda feels like im riding a horse.
Here are the coilovers/shocks
How the car sits now, all the wheels look the same.

Dont worry, the springs will "settle" in over the next few days. I actually ended up raising my car back up. But I live in Northern IL and we have pot holes here that will swallow a civic whole.

coil overs will settle, mine took alot longer then a few days,
what i did was leave mine up a bit so its just a tad lower then stock and drove for a like 2-3 weeks.
