would someone please relay me some information about the TRD lowering springs. I recently installed a set (about 1 week ago) and I had a question concerning the "setteling period". I previously owned a 95 eclipse and I used an Eibach lowering kit w/camber links. I did not notice a "setteling period"; although it was pretty low right out of the gate. I guess what I am saying is that the TRD springs did not appear to lower the car at all. I am hoping that there is a such thing as a "setteling period" in which the springs break. Not that it matters, but the vehicle is brand new --- it has about 2,200 miles on it. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED (preferably someone w/ a simialr experience) --- THANK YOU

The TRD drop is subtle. About 1.25". I went 300 miles before getting a 4 wheel alignment.

maybe a foolish question Blue --- But why 300 miles --- to allow ample mileage and time for the "setteling period"? --- I got an alignment immediately after installing the springs and wheel setup (well atest drive around the block was a must but then I went directly to the alignment lift). I believed that a 4 wheel alignment was the correct way to go --- especially after replacing suspension components along with rubber and wheels. Sorry for rambling --- just a question.
