New coilovers, how long til they settle?
I installed my Form/Function HT-Spec Type I's on Tuesday 3/15, anyone know about how long til they settle? so that I can adjust to my final ride height afterward and get an alignment. TIA.

I measured 1" from the very bottom of each, came out to be about 2" front and 1.5" rear. Going to try 2.5" all around.

I have tein ss coils and it took about a month for it to fully settle. A month for me is about 800 miles.
