Default Tein S-Tech's ?

This past weekend i just switched from F-Sport Springs to S-Techs. My ? is how long does it usually take for a new set of springs to settle? As of right now you can even barely tell i changed them but im sure they will get a bit lower as they settle, i was just wondering how long that took?

GOOD CHOICE!!!! As far as the settling, it took my car about 3-6 days to fully settle. How are you liking the ride compared to the F-Sports?

The ride is almost the same, maybe a tad bit more choppy but really its very close.

Any more feedback, now that you have a few miles on the new setup?

I would highly recommend Tein S-Techs, I think coils are a waste of money unless you want to "Dump" your car which i dont like that look. I think the Teins are the perfect drop for a DD car. I will take pics once its nice out again...

not necessarily, as someone stated in this thread they have a big gap in the front after installing the springs. Springs sometimes dont give an even drop all around. You wont have that problem with coils as you can adjust all sides for even height.
