Spring break in period.

How long should the break in period for new springs last? When should they loosen up, etc..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] I've got Eibach Sportlines.

.....oh and I think that the settling last for many weeks, but most will happen within a few days. Mine's not dropped, I don't have any firsthand knowledge.

there's no such thing as a spring break in period. your suspension is stiff because you got springs ment for performance handling. they will not loosen up so get used to the stiff ride.

I've had my eibach sportlines on for a couple months now and it looks a lot lower now than when I first put 'em on . I'd say it almost went to about 2 inches instead of 1.4 or whatever they lower it. IMO it took a while to get as low as it is now though.
