rite as some may know, may car seems to sit quite high
i bought some brand new konis n springs off a fella who changed his mind n decided he wanted coil overs on his RST,
he told me that the kit i bought off him lowered my RST by -25mm
well fitted it n it seemed high

after a few people told me that its not lowered by -25mm i decided to buy some new springs
bought some -25/30mm avo springs from PJ motorsport, just had them fitted this morning, the lads at the garage say its sitting at the same height still!
whats going on????

Springs will deffo settle as they have been un-sprung since manufacture. Now they have some weight on they will drop. Also, if your old springs were knackered, they will sag and make the car lower automatically due ot this.
