Re: Superfast lowering spring wear?

Springs rarely wear out. It's always recommended to do an alignment when you change stuff out on suspension parts. When using new springs , they do sag a little bit after a while, sort of like breaking them in. Lowering the car on stock shocks will almost always bust them out quickly since they aren't designed to work within such low range and high bounce speed (spring rate). The new shocks will feel always feel different because you got used to worn out shocks. Bad shocks can get either really soft and offer no shock resistance or really stiff, almost stuck.

Aftermarket springs are usually much softer in the rear, check their website for the springrates for the set you got. You should also check the Bilsteins website to see what kind of shocks you got. They are decent aftermarket shocks but also have different shocks for different ocasions.
