You need to wait. The Race springs will settle. It took me almost one month and 1000 miles. Don't cut the springs. Only reason I cut my rear springs was to removing the raked look of the car. I know it's hard to wait, but it'll be worth it.

Get coilovers! Saves you the trouble and hassle! You are gonna regret cutting your springs.
