I installed my springs a couple of weeks ago but the car remained on the jacks, well tonight i put the car on the ground. The car sits alittle bit lower but not much. I would have liked to see them sit about 1/2 3/4 of an inch lower. My question is this, when you guys installed the springs did the car lower after you put more and more miles on it? So basically im asking if the springs have to be broken in?? I have installed th eibach drag launch kit on my 386 stroker car and the springs lowered the car about 3/4 of an inch even though the car wasnt suppose to lower. Anyways, thanks for the help.

It'll take a couple days and a few slightly bumpy roads for the springs to settle in to their permanent position....you have to consider they probably haven't ever had any weight on them so over the next few days they'll compress a little. I helped a friend put a pro-kit in a 4th gen a while back and it was a week before they settled all the way down.

Thanks for the help, i just looked at the car when i came home from work today and noticed it sat alittle lower. The car sits badazz the way it is, but like you said it takes about a week for them to settle in and it will only look better and better the lower it goes.
