How long does it take new springs to settle?
Greetings all...
Last week I got the HKS SFS Springs installed in my car...
My question for those who know, is how long does it normally take for new springs to settle to its "lowest" height?

There is big misconception of springs actually "settling".
Most manufacturers pre-set or block their springs so that they will not sag or go lower than their preset height.
What does actually settle in is the rubber isolators and bushings surrounding the spring which actually breaks in and conforms to the new piece.
I usually wait about two to four weeks after installation of new springs before I go get my actual alignment.
