Springs

I'm putting my pro kit on this weekend. I needed an alignment for a long time and it chewed my tires up. After I put these springs on, I should let it sit for a week before the alignment right? I found through searching it normally takes a week but I'm just double checking.

Yep at least 5 or 6 days, and take it out for a real short spin about 2 times before you take it to make sure they are seated all the way

Alright man. Just making sure. I hate to be driving the car on these tires. The bad alignment chewed the heck out of them but I'll be able to drive some short distances. Where in NC are you Baz?

In-between Asheville and Hickory, west of Charlotte

They'll settle faster with driving, but my Pro Kit took around 2 weeks to fully settle after installation.

I live about 2 hours from you. That's where my dad bought his first fox. Nice racing area with a ton of shops.

See I would hate to wait 2 weeks driving on bad tires with the car out of alignment waiting for them to settle. Then again I'd hate to waste and alignment.

well with it sitting still it not gonna drop fast,as your moving the springs are bouncing so they are going to settle faster.just take some short drives.hopefully my pro kit will be in stock this Friday,cant wait to get them in

If you have CC plates, you can eyeball the alignment and keep it there for 2 weeks.
