Even though the Pro-kit is a more subtle drop than the Sportline, that definitely looks incorrect.
I've had eibach prokit on a previous car and I could tell a visual difference, no question, from the moment the car was settled back to the ground.

hi all, these are photos of my e60 lowered on eibach prokit with the konis fsd shocks, im a bit disturbed, these pics were take a day after being lowered, is it normal for it to still look this high (especially the front driver side, 3rd pic)? and how long will it take to settle...?

THanks all for the input, my installer was just a personal buddy of mines, he's a mechanic but have not had experience with dropping beamers... So what would you all suggest i do to fix the problem? just have him tighten up the struts and springs? or does it get more complicated than that?

It doesn't look right. Springs will eventually settle but it's not going to settle +2". 
What is the specs for your car? Are you sure you got the right springs? Imsortofabigdeal got wrong springs and the car sat about the same or a little higher.
