so exactly how long does it take for these things to settle? Mine have been on for a lil more then a week and they are still just as high as they were when i put them on. Unless i am doing things worng.
I have them adjusted so that the lil nut thingamabobbers are all the way down. Do i have to ttighten them to lower the car or loosen them??? TIA n shiite mangs...

I have H&R Sport springs, and they settled....yet they are good springs. Jason has Eibach Prokits and they settled...also a good spring. Coilovers don't settle much, if any its the sleeve on the strut, not the spring.

Sorry, I was kind of talking about coilover springs, and if the sleeve on the strut settles/moves you have got problems, big problems

if you have the spring/nut all the way down on the sleeve and arent lowered like you want, then it is actually possible that you put the coilovers on incorrectly, maybe the sleeve is on upside down, im not sure how the coilovers you have fit onto the shock but you may have them installed incorrectly ??

that is a possibility, i noticed that the rear end bounces hella higher then the front. Could it have something to do with the nuts at the top of the strut assembly? I didn't tighten them all the way, should i?

hey Synthplaya i got maxspeeds too and honestly they SUCK royal dick..i mean my car feels really good on good roads and on curves its awsome but on bumpy roads they suck it seem like i got hydros and im attempting to see how high i can get..no for reals i dont know if its because my shocks are blown(which they are and i think they are just there to keep the coilovers in their place) but its too dam bouncy my bro has skunk 2 in his avenger and it does not bounce as much as mine does and we are at the same height although i think that because hes got a heavier V6 engin and car he does not get airborne as much as i do....dont know..i try to trade springs with him just to check but he didnt want to he said it was too much work.. as for the settling i never did that on my car i put them on and didnt touch them up to this point..and bucknutty in the picture on your sig is that without the springs if so you need to lower it more and if not then you should update...

Well....i wanted to take a pic of my car once all my coil over issues were solved......as of right now my front end is just as high as it is in that pic, but the rear is lower. I can't figure out what i did wrong and nobody will answer me on if i am adjusting them right

so is it as high as it was when u had your stock springs..and your coilovers are all the way down?? when you installed them, did you took off the ring that held the old spring on your strut?? when i put my coilovers the first time i had the same problem and i thought that i had gotten the wrong ones for my car but it turned out to be that i had not gotten rid of that ring that held the stock springon the strut.
if you didnt take it out just take out your struts and hit them with a hammer from the bottom and they should come lose..try it or why dont you take some pics of how your suspension is right now it would be easier to see what is wrong with some pics..
