Tein S-tech Springs Settle More Than 1.3?

Sup guys,

I own a 99 spyder and recently purchased the Tein S-Tech Springs with an offered drop of 1.2 to 1.3, my question is after some time will the springs settle more than that? If so by how much? and how much time before they settle?

I'd greatly appreciate feedback from those who actually own these specific springs.

Thanks

They'll settle up to .2 inches over two weeks, which is why they say 1.2-1.3 inches. More expensive, higher quality springs will be more standardized. Meaning, the amount they settle will be more predictable, and the same spring to spring. The highest quality (and spring rate) will hold their coils and not settle. When you change them in, measure your unsprung and sprung shock length, and then compare in a couple days. Most of the settling should have occured by then.

teins are a pretty good setup, i don't think they should settle or sag very much if any over time.
