Just ordered Tein S-Tech springs from Jeff@Evolution, and obviously I will get an alignment done once lowered, but I've heard that springs can settle/lower even as much as 1/10th of an inch after a few hundred miles or so.

My question:

Should I get an alignment done immediately after springs are installed and forget about it for later, get an alignment right after then again later, or just wait maybe 300-400 miles then get one alignment?

If I do end up waiting til after the springs have settled, another question I have: Is there anything I should be worrying about during those first few hundred miles prior to the alignment?

Thanks in advance..

wait 300-400 miles but no more. I waited 4000 miles on my wife's G and the rears are tore with feathering because the toe was way out from the factory, and the increased negative camber from lowering exaggerated it.

 

Thanks

 

Hey Drew, I have searched the scattered posts about the Tein S-Tech springs, but have been getting different answers...

Do you know the spring rates for the s-techs? Everyone I have talked to has said they are progressive springs, but only give a maximum spring rate (386/F - 402/R) ...

Don't progressive spring rates have a low and high # ?

I'm so confused. Good luck with the springs!

 

Hahah, drew, we both the same springs, from the same person, around the same time.. hahahah..

Who is installing yours?

 

I agree wait 300-400 miles, that will do it, I waited about a month and nothing happened.
