Is this a used car? Is it possible it already had lowering springs on it so there wasn't much difference to be seen after installing the Eibachs? Its a pretty noticeable drop from stock and should be readily apparent.

Mine took a couple of weeks to settle.

Same day before and after doesn't look much different

Took a day or two for my Prodrive springs to settle... give it a few miles and see how it is.

Yeah thanks guys, it was already fitted with some sort of lowering springs. They must been -40 or something. See how it goes after a few runs.
