How Long for Springs to Settle???

[96ninjaman]

I got an Eibach ProKit and rims installed yesterday. The 18x9 and 18x10 FR500 make the car look really mean. As for the springs the rear sits nice, but the front still looks a little high. Is that normal? Will they settle down more than the rear due to the weight of the engine? How long should it take for the springs to settle? Does it help to drive more or will they settle in the driveway due to the weight of the car?

Thanks

My "C" springs finished settling a year after I installed them. Mind you I only put on a few KM every year.

Settle time varies from spring to spring and how much you drive it. I have the same kit as you and mine finally settled (for the most part) in about a week. By the way watch your tire wear, you may need an alignment. The pro-kit does not drop as much as the sport kit, but alignment issues vary from car to car as well. If you do need an alignment you won't need the C/C plates since you used the pro-kit.

My pro-kit springs were done settling after about 2 weeks.

I think my C springs settled in about 3 weeks, but then I put my car on a lift that lets the suspension hang, and it un-settled them, so they had to settle again. I think they are still in the process. The last one to settle is always the right rear one, for some reason.
