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.

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

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

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.
