Default quick springs question

I just got my car dropped on some springs and I love it however I could almost swear they have risen a little bit since I first got them on and started driving around. Ive only had them on about a day. Ive heard of springs after awhile going even lower but higher? Am I just being paranoid or did they rise?

Did you properly reset your bushings by loosening all the bolts in the control arms and tightening them with the car at the new ride height?

who knows, but I do know that the lower ride height will put additional stress on the bushings since they were set for the higher ride height.
