How long does it take for ground control coilovers to settle? When they do settle, how much more will it lower the car? tia

If you have ground control then they use Eibach springs. Eibach springs are already compressed before they ship them out. So you should not even have to worry about settling problems. As a matter of fact most good quality springs are already compressed before shipment so spring settling is really just a thing for some static rate springs of low quality.

i don't know what kind of settling your talking about. But for me, settling of the springs usually takes around 10 minutes of driving. it'll lower your car about .1"-.2" more than what the company says. i don't know if that's what you were asking or not. Hope i was a help.

settling to me is just the amount of time it takes the spring to get comfortable in your car. With a coil-over system. usually you should lower the car til it looks a LITTLE higher than what you want it to be at.. maybe .2" higher. And then drive around for a short while and look at the car again. It'll probably automatically drop that extra .2" inches you wanted.
