Spring settle. . ?

Just put H&R sportlines, KYB AGX shocks, and some new poly isolatorsin this weekend. Rides a hell of alot better. Was wondering though how many miles before springs settle all of the way?

Springs should not "settle" at all (if they do then they are not very good springs), however the isolators will take a "set" and compact a bit--it's roughly a 1:2 ratio between spring spacer/isolator height and ride height, I.e. 1/4" at the spring = 1/2" in ride height.[/align]

Do you mean H&R sports or supersports? Eibach makes sportlines.
