neuspeed springs settling

i got my neuspeed sports about a month ago and i wanted to know if you guys know if these springs will settle and therefore make the car even lower...i plan on getting 18s maybe even 19s and if they do settle i think the tires will rub

if your car lowers more then your springs are bad. springs don't settle, they are always compressed and should stay the same.

i know neuspeed, eibach and goldlines dont settle... other springs however might... i'm not sure how much gap you have but when i had my stock lx wheels i had about 1 1/2 finger gap all around... now i have 18s... 215-40-18 tires and have 1 finger gap.. no rubbing but it raised my car and now it looks stock with no wheel gap. but ya you should have no problems with even 215-35-19 tires. n next time please post in the suspension forum and please search

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
My car has slowly gotten lower and lower with neuspeed sports. I don't think its the springs but the shocks that are slowly wearing out. I drive on some pretty rough roads.

Yeah, your right that doesn't make sense. I guess neuspeeds do settle then.

how do you explain people fixing the lower rear problem by switching to konis then? one example is tekniq had progress springs... the back used to be lower then the front. he then put konis on and now his back is even with the front.

My guess is the spring mount height changed with the Koni's.
