Springs Settling

I dont care what kind of springs you have but how long did it take you before your springs finally settled down to what they were supposed to... also what kind of springs are you using and how much was the drop front and back

I always say at least a week or two. You can always drive it hard and that will put more pressure on the springs. The fronts will settle first. You can also jump on the trunk to get the rears to settle faster. Whenever you jack the car up you will see that the fronts settle and the rears don't. They will settle eventually.

It took me almost a month on neuspeed sports (1.75"F 1.5"R). The driver side settled first then the passanger side followed. I almost never have people in my car. What really helps is taking corners hard with a fat guy in car. My heavy friend sat in my car and I could have sworn they settled another 1/2 finger gap after driving him...

That will help them settle, but that doesn't compare to the weight of the massive D17!

Only took my goldlines about 3-4 days to settle. And they didnt settle much, car was pretty low when I put them on, and didnt change much.
