I just went for a quick blast down the road to make sure everything was tight and not rattling, came back and it had dropped a few more mm.

Personally, I think its all a big myth. If anything, the way they're after 100yards is the way they'll stay.

when i fitted eibachs to the fiesta, they didn't 'bed in' properly for a few hundred miles.

mainly because i didn't drive it much i think.

could definitely tell the difference from when i first fitted them and when they had settled in properly.
