Default KYB shocks

I replaced all of the shocks a few weeks ago.The front is slightly a little higher than the rear.Will these settle down to the normal height or will I have to lower the front. thanks (95 LT1)

I've got a coil-over conversion on mine currently, but I'm tired of the car beating herself up. I've got the transverse springs on order and I'm now convinced I should try the KYB shocks. Can't beat the price and I've heard nothing but good about 'em.

It will settle down after driving it a while. Mine did the same thing at first, by the end of the week all was back to normal.

A couple of years ago I installed a set of KYB's and had the same effect. It took about two or three days to settle down.
