Are they adjustable? If not, it is common issue, because S-line is already 25mm lower than standard. That means, that if you've fitted for example -40/-40 coilovers, your car actually lowered by 15mm. Hope you understand...
Edit: If they are not adjustable, try to get even shorter springs, but not sure how well will the combo work...

Yeah sumrfworth is right! If they wont settle down, its strange and try to contact the shop, where you bought them....
they should go low enough to tuck the front and rear wheels, you sure they are the correct ones for your car and installed correctly

I put JOM coilovers on mine around a month back. Lowered it around 70mm on the front easily. Defiantly something wrong if they haven't settled yet.
Here is mine on JOMs and 19" Rotors :

What engine do you have and just to make sure it's the front wheel drive?
Do you have the before and after measurements from the centre of the wheel to the arch or may a picture showing the stance?
Also do you have the part numbers on the front springs?

I'm sorry to jump in the thread here but are the coilovers you're on about similar to these?

After Christmas I'd like to be able to get rid of the arch gap and have the car sit a little nicer. I'm no race driver so i'm not looking for the best but i'd ideally like to keep some sort of comfort. Just wondering if anyone had any reviews on them?
