Do lowering springs settle more over time?


Ok, just got Eibach Sportlines, CC plates and new Tokico blues installed. Car is sitting lower than stock but I don't think it looks like it is 2" in front and 1.8"
rear lower as the springs advertise. I am running iso's as well. Shop advised that after driving for some time they would relax more. Anyone have experience on this? Thanks. I have to post some pics DSG 03 Gt w/ 18"Anthricate FR500's.

the iso's will hold it up a little higher that what the springs were advertised.

Yes, they will settle a bit more. My Eibach Pro Kit settled just about 0.3" over 2 weeks.

Yes, springs settle overtime. Best practice is to ride around on the springs after installation for about a month or so and then go in to check for an alignment.
