Default Question about Espelir springs

Hey guys!
Well i am installing Espelir springs with koni shocks today, but i was wondering one thing. Do I have to let these springs settle before i get an alinement ? If so how long do i need to let them settle? Someone told me if they were good springs they wont need to settle. Someone please help me .. i tried searching, but really didnt come up with anything.


thanks ,

cameron

I heard 5-7 days for the springs to settle but I'm not 100% sure.

depends on how you drive and where you drive. i would give it a week-two and then get an alignment
