Default installed shock and it lowered my car after test drive?

I installed some kyb agx shocks on the fronts and had a 2 finger gap on the front. When I test drove it around my block and parked it in front of my house I noticed that it was a little bit lower. Now I have a 1 finger gap on the front. Should I be worried?

If you measured the two fingers (a popular but poor measuring system) after the car was lowered but before it had moved very far, then it may have simply been a false measurement before the suspension had really settled back down to where it would really run. I would trust the after driving measirement as a better representation of the height.
