I just installed a tein s tech on my is250 i was wondering how long it takes for it to settle to its 1.6 and 1.2 drop. thx

 

About a week or two. Depends on how much you drive too.

 

Let's see some pics.

 

springs don't settle- it's an ever expanding myth fed by internet ignorance.
The bushings in the suspension have to settle into the lower stance, or they must be reset when the car is sitting on it's own weight- this is outlined in the lexus service manual.

 

myth or not, wait at least two weeks before taking your 2is into an alignment shop after installing your springs.

 

i dont think its a myth...I give it a month then you have nothing to worry about!

 

I waited about a month and half

 

2 weeks my friend.

 

I do. If you reset the bushings (per the FSM) there is no "settling" required.

 

Lance, let's say I take my car to get my springs installed at a local shop, do you think they'll know how to reset the bushings?

Where would I/they get their hands on this procedure?

 

techinfo.toyota.com has it all.

 

TY so much.
