yeah, always been the way on the cars i've lowered, they only usually settle in when you move the car after they have been fitted ![]() maybe the car is too light and they've sent wrx springs or something!

My SPAX springs seamed to take about week to reach their minimum height. The car didn't feel right until I got the tracking done. Now it feels a lot more stable, especially at high speed. |

I had the same thing Jay when I lowered mine, being that sti’s are lower than standard, the car actually got raised by 10mm or so, the ones the company spec’d for me were for a standard UK Impreza which should have lowered them by approx the same amount as my factory ones!! Even though I told them it was an STI about 10 times they swore they were correct!!! I had to show them the car in its higher state for before they finally agreed to take them back! But they actually told me a few weeks later that eibach didn’t make a suitable spring for the STI! Nice work fella’s. The short time they were on the car they were name “sky-bach’s” Hope yours do settle in time though! |

that was slightly worrying at the time, they were a good inch or more longer but they see to have dropped nicely now havent they? it could be down to who makes them and what the hardness of the springs is, i guess they need to balance up the size with the strength of material/coil. |

Its more of a traction thing. Launch control would probably get me closer, a new tubby will just leave me spinning on the line longer :rolleyes: I think I'll start a new thread.
