Default How long did it take for your springs to settle ?

Just installed the Bilstein PSS kit yesterday. They're set pretty low but the ride height doesn't seem to have changed. I figure I'll leave it like this until the springs settle and then i'll adjust the ride height again, but i'm wondering how many miles you drove before you started seeing a noticeable difference.

I am pleased with the kit though, the car feels much more stable and planted. And no more cloudy feeling at freeway speeds.

When I had my Espelir/L-Tuned shocks installed, I'd say it took a good month and I do alot of driving. I'd say about 1,000 miles till they're broken in.

I did not notice my Intrax/KYB had settled until about 1-2months, but my car just sits in the driveway during the week, and hits the highway on weekends! They must have settled alot though. From about a .5-1" gap F/R to NO GAP F/R!
