    well i just got some new suspension put in on my front end,
    i am not sure about settling but ive herd people mention there car will lower a bit more when the springs settle, dose this only count for new springs?
    or if a spring has been under no tension will it expaned again causing it to resettle when reused?

    my king spring lows were put in and it is visably lower but i am unsure if settling in will affect my springs
    they were fitted to my previous car which was writen off a year ago and have been sat on my shed roof since,
    so will they settle more at all? or would have they already settled previosly to their limit? or would they have expaned again and will need to resettle again?

    cheers its just got me thinking alot

    if they havnt been under load then even if theyre not new they will need to settle should only take a few days to a week max
