quick spring question

Hey guys, just wondering out of the guys with lowering springs (preferably ssc or canuck motorsport) just how long did the springs take to settle? mine sit a bit high in the back and i know ive seen others with my springs that looked lower.... so, thanks for any info

bump!

I know it's not what you have, but my sportlines took 2-3 days to settle. Any chance they aren't seated fully?

pretty sure theyre seated properly..... i did them a few weeks ago, had a couple noises so i rechecked everything, made sure its all seated right... now less noises and no lower. i mean the ride height is ok.... i can almost fit 2 fingers in the front gap and a little more than 2 fingers in the rear. i mean its ok if it doesnt settle i was just expecting a little lower

Yeah, that's probably just it then. What suspension does the SS/NA have? same as the SS/SC?

pretty sure ls/lt has the FE1, ss/na has FE3, and the ss/sc and the ss/tc both have FE5 (tc's is improved)

I have ssc springs... took a few days to settle completely. I have a feeling yours are settled.... Here is a pic to compare:


I think my final gap ended up being 1.5 front and 1.75 rear....let me know if you need me to check those numbers though...

whoops...that is what i get for trying to work on a computer that has filters... fixed it for ya!...

I think those numbers look pretty good... you might get something smaller with sportlines but keep your struts in mind...
