i've had new springs in for around four months now, and only recently ie. within the last few days, i've started to notice that my tyres scrub the guards on full lock! never did before then....disappointed! How long does it take for springs to settle? this may be a good question for adam, or someone else in the know on suspension. the car was lowered 3"'s all round kings rears, and pedders front....sorry adam no whiteline....yet! i think that it may have something to do with the roadworks on the south east freeway south bound, (you'd know if you lived in brisbane at the moment) the road has big transitions from smooth to rough, in around 6 places, that i perhaps stupidly take at 100+ km/h. some of the transitions also have a drop of an inch or two. bang! anyway can anyone help? just curious, no biggie.
thanks everyone in advance, greg

Mine took about 20mins to completly settle in. I just went to the hyperdome and drove over all the speed bumps and that settles em in good. but my springs only just fitted in thats why you gotta buy quality springs like mine
