Had the shop put new 85lb springs and Bilsteins on the car and it's definitely riding high. Tech set the snap ring in the same spot as old shocks and suggests I should let the new eqpt. "settle in" before thinking about adjusting. Is he right...or should they be adjusted?
Seems like if the new gear is "settling", it's wearing down. And if he's right, how much time is needed? Of course, it's not a big deal...but I'm just trying to have the car look/handle as stock. Rides a bit stiff now but a definite difference in handling. I freaking love driving this car.... Thanks! |

85 is actually on the low end. The factory de-tuned the suspension. We set up and made the 100 as the street version and have sold about 100 sets so far. The response is that it feels better.
The 85 should not be a problem. I suspect the problem is in the shock (I'm assuming that AA made their springs to the factory length). It should not be higher. It may sort itself out. Put some mileage on it. |
