Is it normal for new springs to settle differently and at different rates per say? How long will they take to fully settle?

H&R supersports don't settle - when you install them you get what you see. I've heard that some of the cheaper springs settle though!

well mine took about 24 hours to settle. i had a post in here a while back with pics right after we dropped it & it looked like the stock ride. well when i went out the next morning to go to work, it was noticably lower. i'm re-doing the front though. i used the stock isolater & replacing them with something else to get a little more drop out of it. while i'm at it, i'm thinking about the steeda x2 ball joint with can lower it another 1/2in.

I agree with the H&R statement, there's not much settling going on. Mine might have dropped a *little* lower, but that's it.
