The suspension will need to settle once installation is complete. Also, your factory springs will sag as they wear out. When you purchase new springs, even if they are suposed to lower the car, they can rase it depending on how worn out the original equipment was.

I would also definitly recommend new shocks/struts also.

Yeah I understand that. I thought that maybe I needed to cut the bumpstops in half. May still do it if they don't settle enough.
