Hmmm I'm hoping someone can help me.

I'm lowered on Tien S Techs on stock shocks, and i have a 3 finger gap in the front.

I'm seeing all kinds of pics with people at 1 finger gap. The springs have been on the car for a month+ I believe thesebad boys have settled.

Does anyone know why my ride is still a 4x4?

Thanks in advance!

nahhh..actually..ive been told it takes about at least half a year or close to a year or really hard driving for it to really settle down since the springs are new...they need to be driven on more

and in some cases..the weather..when it gets really really hot..thats when the springs drop a tad bit more..you live in canada..isnt it cold there?lol

but yeah..sorry if im no help.

heh yeah i ensured this things were the real thing. I read some threads on the fake ones....

YIKES!! half a year to settle?!?!?!

LOOOL yeah it's cold here but the weather just got up to 100 degrees last week.

I'll store the car in the winter.

Hmmm not sure if the person who did the install cut the bump stops wouuld that make a difference at all?

thanks in advance,
Chris

i know this is really specific, but does anyone have a pic of their ap1 on koni yellows(lower perch) with skunk 2 springs?

a friend of mine has rsr springs mated with Koni yellows on the "higher" perch and he is REALLY low, and i just wanted to see how that KYw/S2 setup would look

if not, just koni's on the lower perch with any springs will do
