Lowering Springs: How Long to Settle?

[TSmkV]

Any input on how long until springs reach their equilibrium height? Just installed HKS Hipermax Touring yesterday with pre-set 1” drop. When she came off the Quick Jack there was almost no noticeable (measurable) difference…about 1/4” all around. But after a 5 mile test drive today (I finished late last night ?) it had dropped another 1/2”. Just wondering how long you’ve seen additional settling after install? Also, the front pass side is about 1/4” less than the driver’s side. Perhaps it settles at different rates…but eventually will even out? Thanks for any insights.

Thanks. I’m hoping to get that extra 1/4” - 1/2“. Gives me an excuse to drive before the weather gets crappy.

HKS adjustable springs with camber plates on OEM Wheels and tire size.

It settled after a week ish - hope it helps*

Thx. Why’d you opt for camber plates…should be plenty of room on stock wheel/tire?

I have another set of wheels/tires with 275/40/18 that I use on the track

UPDATE: Thanks for previous input. She settled in nicely at 1” drop. Left front is about <0.25” lower than the right…but can only tell with a tape measure. Wheels and tires coming soon so may need further adjustments.
