King Springs settle time?

[MattSV6VE]

Hey guys i just got my car lowered on king springs im pretty sure there sssl?, well its ment to be 63mm(sl ssl, what ever there called) lower all round, this is a picture of my car straight after.
the back looks lower but the front seems to be like 10-20 mm lower then stock height??, just wondering how long does it take king springs to settle and when they do settle will it give me that 63mm??i want the front LOWER!!! haha

my car took a few months to settle properly. i didnt get kings (i got pedders), but same issue.
the way I see it (im not an expert), all the weight is at the front of the car so the springs up front are harder than the rear. therefore they are probably going to take a little longer to settle in.
but lowered springs do definitely take time to settle in.
i think driving the car will also help things settle in as well.
give it time mate.

That doesn't look too bad. The shape of the wheel arches makes the rear look lower than the front, look at the line of the side skirts in relation to the ground.

Looks fine mate, as said earlier itll take months to settle properly, but you will notice it lower in a few weeks.

Hey mate how much did you get your suspension installed for? I'm looking to getting mine done soon.

Honest opinion , 12 months mate.

I have had two sets of lowered springs fitted, one set "king Springs" to a Omega sedan, and the other set "Pedders" to a SS ute.

Both took 9 to 12 months to fully settle into their final height.

Other may have them settle quicker, but that's what it took mine. On both occasions.

Cheers.

I think springs settling is BS. The height they are at now is pretty much the height they will stay.

Any difference in height after that is the springs sagging.

 

[Mike08]

With all due respect RiCey i disagree with you there mate.

From what i have seen they do settle, even if it is only a small margin over time.

I highly doubt spring sag sets in after only 12 months.

Cheers.

I got all spring and fitted/installed for $500, I would have done it my self but at the moment I don't have enough time, as it pretty much gets dark when I get home aha but I thought $500 was a good price

You're entitled to an opinion like the rest of us mate.

On the same token I doubt it takes springs 12 months to settle
