ya another thread Stech QUICK HOW LONG TILL THE SPRINGS SETTLE?
 
WELL WHAT IT SAYS.... how long does it typicaly take for the springs to settle before i can get a true alignment job......


id like to have my wheels aligned so it wont eat em up... BUT i dont want to pay three times to get it aligned!
cause id need to get it done once the new springs are on... and then again when i get my new rims/tires just to be sure.... but i dont want a third time if the springs arent settled and i drive it that way for ruffly a month or two before i got enough cash for ny new rims/tires....

i settled my coilover springs instantly by going out and doing sideways drifting on a dirt covered road near my house. lol.

scared the hell out of my friend, but it worked.

O ALSO FORGOT.... will i have roll the rear fender lip up or should i be fine with it not being that much lower?
Stechs say 1.9" front drop, 1.7" rear drop.


or will my 205-40-17s still be a good size for no rubbing issues front or rear?

i dropped mine about 2 inches and i got the 17's and i notice now that if i turn really hard and shift the weight of the car my rear will slightly rubb the wheelwell, so i think im going to give it a try
