I have never had to bed in any coil overs, but then again I have never had cheap Chineas makes.
I would take them off and make sure you can get them to turn on the work bench, you have a problem with them

They used to have pillowball top mounts and roller bearing spring seats, but to make them more comfortable, they were revised to be rubber top mounted.

I have again been told that they should bed in over time so will give them some time.
Gonna ping my way over to Eindhoven and see how I get on.
