Default Re: new front springs?

[QUOTE=L79racer;471095]Thanks for the info. The wait is the hard part. I like instant gratification. So, I'll try and be patient and I'll wait and give some time to settle. looking for about 1 1/2 inches to settle.[/QUOTE

What brand springs did you buy?

Are you running any sort of rubber/ poly insulator? If so, those will also "squish" a bit over time which will affect ride height.

My experience is that some springs like Moroso sag noticeably after a while, but the best quality ones like the Moog I have used didn't sag.

No bushings installed. Its sitting level right now. If it doesnt settle a little more its good. I just like a little more rake to the stance.
