Default QA1's &275's?

Just a quick question guys. I got my QA1's and 275's on and I'm happy other than the bloody strut tower mount giving me a fit. Oh well that doesn't have anything to do with the parts. I set my ride height a bit high anticipating that the springs would settle a bit. Is that generally the case? It's been a couple of days now and there still in about the same position.

James,

They will settle, one time at the track with a few launches and they will drop 1" or so. I ran into the same problem years ago when I first ever installed a set of QA1's. I got the car height were we wanted, took it to the track and cut some nice 60' times... the front end dropped over a 1" after that.

I have the same set up for the fronts, RC7855P and #275 springs.
Just set it to desired height and you're done. Drive it around to settle the rest of the suspension and you should be good to go.

Thanks Ryan.

Yeah, I think they settled a bit coming to work this morning. I'll work em a bit for a few days and see what they look like.

Btw, the strut tower bar looks great. I'm anxious for those control arms. You gonna advertise those now that you have a batch?
