Hey gang - I'm getting conflicting thoughts on springs settling the first week after install. Some say that the car drops further, some say it does not.
Does anyone have experience with this?
I upgraded to the OEM sport springs with a 0.4" drop (front). After install the car sits about the same height as my 3yr old non-sport springs, so I'm hoping to get a bit more drop from the get go.

Many members in here mentioned that It's the bushings that actually settle, the springs aren't, thus make the ride height lower after a week or so.
I don't know if it's true. But my ride height went lower within a month after installing my springs.
Serach "Bushing Reset" and you shall find.

I'm on BC Racing coilovers (12k/8k) that I installed in Dec/Jan '11/'12. I installed them at a 2.5" ride height all around. I've started to notice corners I used to not scrape the wheel liner on that I do now or more often. I checked the ride height again several weeks ago and it's near 3" up front (didn't care to check the rears). Of course I never adjusted the ride height again since the original install, but it appears my front springs settled near .5". I know according to everything I've read and seen online that springs don't settle much...if any after installation. But...I don't know what to think now.
