F Sport Shocks Will Raise Your Car Again? Or Do They Settle?
Hey guys...just installed my F Sport shocks this past week and love the feel. I already had the sway bars, springs and chassis brace so the shocks were the icing on the cake. My questions is...when I got the car back from Lexus...it was noticibly higher than it was before on the OEM Tokico shocks. I asked the service guy and he said that they will settle in a week or so. I said ok and drove home. By the time I'd gotten there it had come down a little bit, but not by much. I'm worried that it's not gone back to somewhat of a scarred cat look and I've lost my drop I'd had with the combination before. I feel a huge
improvement in the way it handles, so it's not a deal breaker for me at all...but I'm wondering if anyone has had the same expierience. Thanks.

Springs do, but you don't mention having those done. Springs don't settle either by the way, that's what people who don't know how to install them properly say to explain they didn't properly reset your bushings when they do their job wrong.

I did have the f sport springs installed too, before the shocks on my oem shocks and it sat a little lower then it does now. I'm getting mixed responses from everyone saying that they will settle and others say they won't, it's just how they are...it's odd. I got under the car yesterday and everything looks good...nothing stood out to me as "wrong". The spring is sitting just as it should. Anyone else have anymore thoughts?

1/4 inch with some slopply measurement technique on something less than a flat surface to begin with is essentially 0 inches or not valid. Could easily be variations in body/fenders, etc.
