Default Coil spring settlement ?
The motor and transmission weight have been on my car for a couple weeks now and it's settled down a little but still measures around 1-1/2 inches higher than ERA's recommendations. I'm thinking about going ahead and dropping it down to about 1/2 inch above spec so I can do a rough alignment.

Anyone have any experiences with how much their car's springs settled after assembly and driving? Does leaving a 1/2 inch sound about right for now?
