Default Settle down, now.

Now, I really hate to take up bandwidth for such a quick answered question but I need to know how long the "settle" time is for springs. Eibach on an SC400 supra struts.

Been watching for a while now, and nothing.

I've searched, but to no avail. Just wondering if I need to start looking for possible problems and/or solutions. Thank you gentlemen and women.

will have pics up when finished w/ the front (tomorrow)

Okay, so I started the front today and I stripped that bolt at the bracket at the bottom of the strut.
>:O

I hardly strip bolts so I was pretty pissed. Meh. So, now I have to get something to take this bracket off. The car is even as of now, but I don't want the rear springs to settle and it look un even.

Is there something that can take off stripped bolts that are a female dog like these suspension ones??
Eh.

Tank ya
