Celica Forums General Discussion General how long does it take for springs to settle?

i just got eibach sportline springs.. and it used to be like a 1.5 sometimes even 2 fingers in the wheel well gap for the rear.. but now its been sittin 1 finger in the wheel wells now.. so the question.. have my springs settled? i got the springs like a month ago

it usually takes springs about two weeks to settle down.

oooh how does the front look?

Daaaamn, that's low

I know, that looks REALLY low for a Sportline.

i think your springs have settled...and man that looks really low!

nah, that's not too low. that's how low my rear is & i've never had any problems w/it.

It looks low to me.

they are settled..and looking very nice..i have the eibach..adn they dont look that low..good shit ma man..

I have the eibach sportlines as well. There should be only one finger gap. I think your springs have settled.

whooohooo finally!

Props rem, thats how my Tanabes look, looks hott.

it says in your profile that your tanabes are a 1.5 drop, and you say it looks like mine? mine was a 2.4 drop lol. you sure you got the right springs? haha but props if it looks like mine.. because then it must look good

^^^ I got the right springs, hard to mix up.

Don't know what to say GF210s are listed at 1.5" drop but where lookin very close.

Oh and don't go by my pics at all, in need of new ones big time.

The "finger" test, Rob.

^^Ok I will see how many fingers.

That drop looks real nice. My tanabes ain't that low but I'm happy with the look of mine as well.

Which one do you have, NF210, GF210, Df210, or SUS?

BTW, your profile says there not in yet.

I did the finger test and took out a tape measure, rear 1 finger (3/4") front about 2 and half fingers (2"). So thats my gaps with the Tanabe GF210 springs.

tony made a funny

looked settled to me because that is LOW! it takes bout 2 weeks usually

Looks awesome man.

Hey guys/girls... when I got my sportlines I was told by Eibach that there was no "settly time" so it was safe to go get an aligmnent right away so I did, the next day. Now it seemed wierd to me that there was no settle.

Now I'm thinkin my alignment is probably off cause of the apparent settle time which would put it out again

actually i had another question... whenever you raise ur car.. the aftermarket springs get decompressed.. and i know that when you drop it back down it takes a while for the springs to compress again.. and does this mean that they have to take 2 weeks again to settle?
