If the springs are brand new you need to give them a good couple of months by letting them settle.

You can cheat on this by throwing wait in your trunk.


Btw, why type of springs did you get?

Or like what Walter said, get some coilovers.

That's what i'm working on saving up for.

yep, coilovers, or, if since your car seems to be very show oriented, maybe air bagging it. just don't say you want to cut the springs. lol
