tein s tech springs settle?

I had tein s tech springs installed today (about a 3 mile drive on them so far), with new OEM struts. the back wheel gap is higher than the front. will the springs settle and fix the wheel gap?

When i had the tein springs the rears settled lower than the fronts. The tires were already tucking, and i had 16inch wheels.

If you have replaced both the springs and the struts / shocks it should settle. Not sure of your specific car but most MINIs sit lower in the front than the rear.
