How long does it take once the springs are fitted for them to settle to their lowered state? Obviously with the weight of the engine there, the front will settle sooner than the rear, right?

Plus once fitted, is it best to wait a few weeks for them to settle before having tracking/balancing/camber (and headlight self-levelling re-adjustment on the GTi) checked out and adjusted?

Just a couple of questions I've been wondering about. I will have some of these springs erm... next spring actually

No pun intended, honestly!

Cheers

Mine took about a week/200 miles to settle properly. I had the aid of an Audiobahn system to aid the rear end settle.

Just sit some fat bloke in the back that should equal the front and back out.
