[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 900767, member: 6727"] I don't understand why we're expecting the springs to "settle" to the height drop claimed by the manufacturer. I had a set of Eibach springs installed on my '94 Callaway Camaro back in 1999 and the drop was immediate. I picked the car up at Callaway and the drop was noticeable, as was the better handling. The height never changed from that point. I just don't get it. I'm wondering if there is a step being omitted during the install. If I had a set installed and saw no drop at all within the first day or two I'd sure as heck be on the phone with the vendor AND the manufacturer to get it resolved. :shrug: Follow-Up: I went to the Eibach website's FAQ section and here is a quote. So I'd say something is definitely wrong with the install or springs if the car has dropped more than a quarter or half inch. [b]When Eibach suspension springs are fitted, will the car sit at the correct ride height or will it need time to settle? All Eibach suspension coils are pre-set to eliminate settling and increase life expectancy. Some minimal settling may occur as the new spring mates up to an existing rubber suspension isolator, this is normal, but is not the same as a poorly produced spring which may take a set and effect the ride height, handling and alignment of the vehicle.[/b] [/QUOTE]
