#8331, "How long for springs to settle!"


          

I just got a hell of a hook up on some ground control coilover last night at work so I bought them and then got up and installed them this morning. I set them at full drop just to see what it looked like and honestly I can barely tell a difference. Is this normal with this type of spring? How long does it usually take for them to settle if that is what it is? Just curious. Thanks.

My springs took about 3 days for full settle. I have the H&R sport springs. Not too sure abut coilovers, but should be the same.

Took about 3-4 days for my Prokits to settle down. Still think somebody at Eibach is smoking crack with the 1.2" they say.....but if you put coilovers on and it didn't drop it down at all I would have to say maybe you did something wrong. Pretty sure the ones you got dialed all the way down should put you pretty low before they even settle......
