If you bought the actual "vert springs", they are stiffer and take a while longer to settle down. A couple weeks to a month should be about right. If you can find a road with some descent dips, ora parking lot with some speed bumps,you can accelerate the process, just take care not to bottom out your car or rip the nose off!

that's not exactly something that is easy for a mechanic to miss...at all.

my car only has 1" drops and I notice it every time I get into it.

He probably read this forum and figured out we were on to him ! [8D]

Whatever you do don't let him near a differential gear swap!!!!!

Damn I was gonna say, when I lowered my car with H&R Super Sports I noticed immediately, that it was dropped. It looked so sweet.

Did you have any wheel alignment issues?

Is there an update? Did you take the car back to your mechanic so he can fix the problem?

It is possible, when he put the fronts in, he didn't line up the spring in the spring pocket onthe Lower control arms, along w/ failing to remove the isolators.. All in all, the car should have a much lower appearance, regardless of the time it takes to settle...

How does one forget to put rear springs in?? Personally, I'd say get under your car and physically check to see if the springs are new Eibachs, and not some cut stockers..
