Default ::skunk2 coilover questions::UPDATED!!

ok so i installed them two days ago. today i drove alot. about 35+ miles. but i've noticed everytime i take the car out the wheel gap just isn't the same as what it is when i left the house. it appears to get lower and lower. i have the collars tight on there. i dunno what it could be.
do these coilover springs settle?? thanxx...

ok well its the next day and i have a quick snapping noise comming from the passenger side... i can only hear it with the windows down and stereo off. and it only happens on bumpy parts ?? any help is appreciated.. sorry for being a NOOB with this ****!

springs will settle aftertime... like if you jack one side of the car up for a lil while, then drop it back.. your car is lopsided... just keep raising the perch till it doesn't settle beyond the point you want...
