i think the first bump you hit backing your car out of the driveway pretty much settles your new springs ;o

 

The Tanabe springs on my STi did not settle at all unless it all happened on the 7 mile drive home from A&S. I measured in the garage and then checked 2 weeks and a month later and had no change.

The Prodrive springs I had on my 02 WRX did not settle.

The Griggs Racing springs on my Mustang did not settle one bit either.

The Eibach Pro-Kit I had on the Mustang before I did the Griggs stuff settled a little up front and a lot in the back.

The TRD suspension I had on my old Corolla did not settle at all, but the cheap crap springs I had on it before the TRD stuff did.

I think it comes down to the way the spring is made and the quality of the springs - cheap crap may settle, but good quality parts will not.

 

Thank you all...

 

quoting yourself as a source of fact lacks the same credibility that quoting others has...sorta defeats the purpose.

I understand you are reiterating, but it just looks a little funny :-P

 

on that note, what spring offers the lowest drop with the most comfort? I'm thinking about taking my coilovers off

 

FWIW,

I thought the Prodrive spring/AGX strut combination for my wagon was pretty comfortable and close to stock on the softer settings. More comfortable than my current Tein Flex coilovers on the rougher roads. However, they do not offer the lowest drop around.

 

i had a ground control setup with koni inserts on my rsx. they use eibach ers springs. it settled.

 

the eibachs on my cobra settled, and those were with koni insert also. the guy i sold some s-techs too said his settled with the stock struts.

 

My teins haven't moved a mm. Like i said, over time a spring will obviously weaken, so the car will oventually get lower, but not this 200 mile car drops inches bull****

 

hahaha damn you two keep fighting over and over.

 

did you take measurements? i took measurements from the center cap to the fender when i was measuring them while settling in. i lost the sheets i kept with the suspension data when i was setting up the hight on my coilovers, so the 1 finger gap change is the easiest way i could remember it. ****, you didnt even get an alignment after you got your coilovers on.

 

maybe he's measuring from the center cap to the ground.

 

haha go send top notch spring companys an email asking them about their springs settling, they might get offended

 

what ever happend to topnotch wrx?
and why do i keep seeing his car in the baic threads.

I wonder if the current owner knows it's a salvage.

hmmm.. I wonder..

 

holy ****, i remember that guy!
