Nismo S-Tune suspension install, settle?

tjlazer · 08-25-2010, 07:28 PM

Just installed the S-Tune kit. Since I just swapped the whole strut, I assume the right height I am getting is what it's going to be? Will it settle? As I am .5" higher than stock! I thought it would be .4" lower or at the worst the same height. Not happy! I am about to just order some TEIN's! ARGH!

The suspension only has about 110 miles om it. That said, I was at stock (service manual) height with taller tires, so you should be lower.

springs settle over time, but if the springs were suppose to lower your ride they should appear lower after you take a quick spin around the block.

usually a good 500miles should settle the springs, but some of them sag a little more after a yr or so of use.

Yeah right now I am .5" higher on the fronts (28") and the same for the rears (28") I'll give it some time and see if it settles. But I think I am getting some RS*R springs from Japan to throw on the struts...
