I put on my H&R sport springs and Tokico Illumina 5 way shocks and struts 2 weeks ago. I also got the Urethane spring isolators when I put on my springs. Anybody have any idea how long it will take for the car to drop all the way?

I have heard 3-5 days and even up to a month or so..I would say it might take a while seeing as most of the suspension is brand new now..what did the rest of the parts run you minus springs?

You have urethane spring isolators, so it might not drop as low or as quickly as rubber ones....

it will drop down give it some time. might take a month or so with your isolators. how much did you drop your car.

i see some stangs that have been dropped too much. when they are dropped too much the rear wheels look like there shoved into the wells and the way the back of the car is designed esp. 94-98's it makes it look like the wheels are mounted a foot inside the wheel wells when you look at it from behind.

I got the H&R sport springs from MM. Says with the urethane isolators the drop is suppose to be 1.6" up front and 1.5" out back.
