Settling springs on a slope
 
Im going to install the eibach pro kit tomorrow on my 08 coupe. My driveway is a somewhat steep decline.

Assuming i can get down into the driveway scrape free, would there be any issues having the springs settle on a slope like that as the car doesnt really get driven during the weekdays?

You want to drive the car a fair amount to work the suspension while the springs are setting in. You don't need to drive aggressive or fast, but want to get the dampers working so going up some inclines at angles to give more compression will help and over some speed bumps, etc. Since your alignment will be off you just want to keep it safe, no need to drive it like you stole it.

Won't be any issue parking it on an incline, but do drive it some in the next week.

Keep in mind, going into or out of a steep drive, be sure to take the entry at a sharper angle, if you go straight in or straight out you may get some rather severe scraping.
