F-Sport Shocks Break-in Period (Fact or Myth)
Is it true that f-sport shocks (bilsteins) do break in as you use it or put miles/km to it? Does it really soften up through time as you use it? This also goes to new shocks or new after market shocks is it true or, when you get a new set of shocks/coilover shocks the dampening/firmness/softness is set? It will not soften up or loosen up its seals/valving

I don't see how you could have a "break-in" period or steps to follow to "break-in" a shock. Just install and ride on!
Yes, all shocks will lessen their dampening over time; the QUALITY units manintain their dampening longer. Over time the seals and the pistons brake down and wear the inner tubes, thus decreasing optimal performance. |
Coils and springs can also be "settling" which can be a week from install to let the car sit on the suspension b/c when you align it after install it you'll have to do it again when it settles
