Lowered 2010 GT

So I got my SR Lowering springs in and started the install this past weekend. Front 2 springs went in fine. Then I came across a frozen bolt/bushing in one of the rear sway bar links. Heading to a shop this week to get it out and ordering a new bar link/bushing. Funny story is that I didn't realize I had taken out RTR lowering springs already on car!!! I know... I know... I'm an idiot but I think the car looks lower in the front after replacing.

Question 1. Will the car get lower once springs get used more... driving...etc???

Question 2. Is it me or does the current rear RTR springs look like they were installed upside down(pic below)? Maybe replacing was a blessing in disguise??? I know in most instances the more compressed spring is at the top. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
