Hey guys, just wanted to thank the forum for helping me choose which springs to get. I ended up going with the Eibach Pro Kit, car rides smooth and drop is good!

How long do I have to wait for springs to settle to go in for alignment? does the car lower a bit more after springs settle? rear is still alittle high

rear will look a lil higher than the front. give it about a month for the springs to settle into their final position but i'd get the alignment right away bc it looks a lil funky IMO. especially the camber. there won't be enough difference to where once they settle that you won't need to do your alignment again

My Eibach dealer told me to give it 3 days before doing the alignment. The springs really settled in quite a bit during that time. After a week, it's steady at 2 fingers all around. Lovely...
