I recently installed Eibach Sportline springs with KYB GR-2 shocks in my S13 hatchback. I am riding 17 inch wheels with 215/45/R17 tires. I still seem to have more fender well than I would like. How much more can I expect the springs to "settle" after a couple of hundred miles? 1/8"? 1/4"?

I was wondering how your car rides and looks with this setup. I have the struts replaced but am still in the process of deciding on some springs.
