lol yes they do, i've done springs twice and both times they settled at least a half inch after a few days of driving. Many people run the pro kit and they usually sit pretty good, give it a couple days.

mine didnt settle. there was a thread in the 4.6 section over springs settling and a guy decided to ask the H&R staff the same question. they came back with the answer that no, springs do not settle. go ahead and call them, and tell me what they say.

and a half inch? no way.

Well maybe they consider "settling" something else. I'm not one to call and argue with their techs because they really know their stuff but I'm going by what I've actually SEEN with my car. Before I had the Steeda sport springs (1-1.25" drop) and when I first installed my H&R super sports it sat about the same, maybe a touch lower. After a little while with the car sitting on them it hunkered down some more so i don't know what to tell you. Everything i read says let the springs settle a few days before you get an alignment...

+1 to settling a little, my Sportlines sat the same as my old prokit for a day or two, and the prokit sat the same as stock for a day or two..
