Are the springs seated correctly into the struts? Are you sure the springs are on the correct sides? Also, you will need to allow time for the springs to settle in.

It shouldn't settle THAT much. You did something wrong. Take another look at your install. If possible, get another set of eyes.

While it's true it won't settle much, the description by the op for "More Lower" isn't exactly technical.

Make sure the spring/top-hat is seated properly.

See detail 17.
