So I'm getting them installed tomorrow night. I know I should drive around for a week or 2 before getting alignment so the coils settle in.

Now, I heard that I should let the coils settle in before lowering the car too. Is that true?

 

I'd just lower it now, and realize that it may be slightly lower when it's finally settled and then adjust it again if desired, whether lower or higher.

 

That's what I was thinking too.

 

Just lower it to how you want, and keep in mind that it'll probably settle and go about 1/2 inch lower. After a week or so, you could adjust it accordingly and then go in for your alignment.

 

if you want the "SLAMMED" look on your S, if have to go down to the lowest perch on your bilstein pss9, bilstein doesnt have as many perches like teins or buddyclubs, so if you want slammed, go ahead and do that b4 the install, cuz it can be a pain in the ass adjusting later on since theres so much pressure

 

sorry for jacking thread, but, does anyone know how long it would take for koni yellows/espelirs to settle? i thought that it only took a few days? isthe "settling-time" any different from a coil over setup?
