How much lower will Comptech springs get?

Yeah, so i lowered my ride yesterday, and i was just wondering, how long does it take comptech springs to settle?

Does anyone noticed even after 6 months, they get a bit lower?

BTW, my comptechs are TWO months used, does that mean their already settled?

As soon as they settle, and the rear too (H&R) I'm gonna get an alignment and put my rims on...

its just, i kinda wanted the front a bit lower than it is...

heres some pics, enjoy.

yeah i dont wanna wait either, i was gonna wait 2 weeks so springs settle so the alignment doesnt scratch my rims...but i brought it down to 1 week, and decided to just drive a lot, to compensate.

your springs aren't going to settle. if you wanna go lower get koni's and use the lower perch in the front. that will drop you another 3/4 ". then it will be perfect. grille looks good.

I doubt they'll settle anymore if they were used for 2 months. My comptechs did their settling in the first two months - mostly the rear, but the front a bit.

Depends....


I've had factory springs settle, aftermarket springs settle (badly), and got some springs that had the same feel, lack of noise, and same ride height 8-years later (I had the car for a very, very long time )...

steve could easily take me.
his car is about true performance..with those tires, headers, coilovers, exhuast, etc..

i hardly speed, just like to know the power is there..

i'm going for more Bling.. na mean?

next i'm gonna get an exhuast like steves, and i think i'm done spending money on the car..i wanna spend money on my place, and maybe some clothes
