So the Body shop that is installing my suspension called me yesterday and sent me a pic on my phone of the rear springs installed with the SPC camber kit and it raised the car almost 2 inches. First 3 pics are before and the last pic is the pic the shop sent me of the rears installed. I have wheel gap and figured the sport springs would close that up but it made it worse. Do they have them in wrong??? Or do they settle down 2-3 inches???



After H&R Sport Springs

 

They do settle , roughly about 1k miles of driving , i felt the same about my prokit and now it sits fine and even.

 

I know any new spring will settle. but should the height be higher than factory at first?

 

Do you know if the shop drove the car at all? Or if they just installed them and lowered the car back down on the ground?
The car will sit higher if they didnt move the car at all. You should get roughly .25-.5" of settle after a few days of driving.

Oh and yes they can sit higher than stock at first, that is nothing to be concerned about.

 

They said they bounced it a little but it hasnt been drivin. If its only gonna settle 1/4-1/2 from pic #4 then it still hasnt lowered at all.

 

I think they will settle a lot more than that.

 

Bouncing it wont do anything. (They did take the parking brake off right?)
I put some Tanabe springs on my car a while back and they raised the front of my car about an inch over the previous springs I had (should of lowered it .5" more). The front settled down about 1" or so after about 5 miles of driving, then another .5" was noticed after about 50-100 miles.

 

I think it will settle more but I don't think its normal for it to be higher than stock....

 

Are you sure you have Coupe version and not a sedans? lol

 

Usually even after dropping the car down with new springs, itll be obviously lowered, then itll lower even ore after it settles :O

 

Yeah thats what I was gonna say! lol maybe you have the wrong springs...

 

as i was reading i was going to say the same thing cuz man ur sitting high

 

im guessing the parking brake is on, when they release it I bet it drops the car down a lot. I remember this happening to me years ago when I installed lowering springs for the first time I was like WTF its higher, took off the parking brake and it was slammed.

 

I bet the parking brake is still on cuz they havent had it off the lift yet.
NO they are not sedan springs.

 

It will settle, but that seems weird. Can you take a picture of how the springs are installed??

lol springs and slammed aren't words that go together.
