How long does it take the springs to "settle"?

asdf · 10-25-2007, 04:53 PM

I just finished putting on Eibach Sportlines on my si sedan and the rear has like 2 1/2 finger gap and fronts have about 1 1/2 finger gap....

Did you cut the rear bump stops? I remember reading something about drilling? I looked over the other DIY but didn't see anything.

Icic. What about the bump stops...I only cut the front.

How do you get to the rear ones? And it said something about drilling?..I looked at the DIY and didn't see anything about drilling

It should be fully settled within a few weeks

The more you drive it, the fast it's gonna settle.
