Wow what a difference the little drop makes. I'm not sure about the break in period though. Were you happy with them

When I put Eibachs in my deceased Camry, the guy said the springs would "settle in" and lower slightly after a week or so. He also told me to get a whole bunch of friends in the car to help settle it in more.

I think there was a 2 or 3 finger gap between the tire and the fender; my tires were either 225/35/17 or 215/35/17 and it was a 93 Camry XLE.

I've heard this before, too. I can't say that I noticed any settling with my car, though.

yes, in about a week the springs will settle and you'll notice a tad lower

DiscountTireCenter told me that after my drop, I shouldnt expect any dramatic changes with it settling. If anything at all, it would be a matter of millimeters. Several months later, my car is NOT lower than the first time it was dropped.

chris, so did your rear tuck ever since they were installed?

My fender rubs when I drive over bumps with 2 adults in the back seat.

My car has been at the same height since the day it drove out of their driveway
