question about springs settling

[Yarflana]

I believe I found my answer on here that all new lowering springs settle a lot over the 2-4 weeks following installation and slower but even more settlement over the year.

I purchased the Eibach Prokit springs and Tokico "reds," all from Micro Image (thanks to Jeff and Garm). I installed them all today. I have the reds set to 2 full turns to SOFT from HARD and the car feels GREAT!!!!! 2 full turns make the car a tad softer than the hardest the struts and shocks can be.

My question is about the Eibach Pro springs, which have a stated drop for the front 1" and rear 1.25" per Micro Image's website.

At first impression, the car doesn't look that much lower, so I was curious if anyone else has Eibach's and pro struts/shocks and whether the settings on the Tokico's could limit the drop of the springs. I doubt this would be the case since struts and shocks just dampen and don't really limit riding height, but just curious.

Thanks for any thoughts.

They should settle withing about 250 miles so you may get a tiny bit more. They are like the most subtle drop available

Perhaps, but I think the hardness of the dampers have something to do with it. If you have lower springs, but your dampers are taking weight off of them for each bump and hump, then it would seem that they would take longer to settle vs. softening the dampers and letting the springs compress a bit more while driving.

I can tell you now that the car hasn't dropped an inch yet; though I anticipate it will and this has got to do with my damper setting being still hard. The instructions tell you to put the dampers at 5 full turns above full hard which is softer than I have them at now, so that is likely to help get a feel for how they work under "daily driving" conditions.

Further thoughts are appreciated.
