Installed F-sport springs a few months ago. Then recently I was away from my car for two weeks. Came back and it now appears even lower than it was before I left. I know there can be some settling... or maybe I got used to seeing other stock IS's for two weeks, giving the impression my car is lower than I remember it? I did scrape a driveway I've never scraped before.
This look about average for F's?

seems like you car is just tired of holding you up, or that is slowly falling in love with the road haha, nah just kidding, to me my eibach's seemed like they did but i cant think of why it does

your assumptions seem right to me. if there is nothing wrong with the car mechanically, and it drives/handles the same i dont see a problem. you probably got used to seeing stock height IS's like you mentioned

maybe they just broke in and settled.

Looks about right to me (or about the same height as my car on Eibach 350's).

Any new feedback on ride and handling, now that you've put some miles on the setup?

*sigh*

Springs don't settle.

Seriously.



Bushings can deform if the install isn't done properly, some folks will mistakenly think this is the "springs settling" but it's not, it's the results of your installer not knowing how to reset the bushings to neutral.

Here's Eibach themselves on this topic-

I'd be happy to. It's been a few months now and I am extremely satisfied with the springs. The ride became just a shade harsher, but it also handles a shade better too. A trade-off well worth it IMO. I was also concerned about scraping driveways and dips. No big deal it turns out. I've had stock cars in the past just as low (A4) and this is not a different driving experience at all. As long as you reasonably slow down, there is no scraping. Lastly, the look just totally transformed the car from an everyday collegemobile, to a sleek and sporty ride that exudes class. I've always enjoyed changing the car I drive to appear how I think the factory should have finished them. Now the car looks exactly as I would have wanted the factory to finish it.

I've observed the same about my S-Tech's, much lower now than the week i got them put in.
