Default How long until springs are totally settled?
installed my vogtland gt's today, and first of all to those who thought the ride was harsh and had pogo effect i think your nuts. I went from stock suspension and the gt's ride beautifully. No body roll the car feels well planted and the stiffness over stock is hardly detectable. That is on sh!tty Boston roads too. Also, thanks to all the posts i read the install went off without a hitch, only made one adjustment after they were on and will probably make one more once i'm sure they are settled. LOVE the setup and thnx again for all the great info on here... keep it comin

The ride is way better than stock, and it is not harsh.

Default thanks i see what you mean. I thought u meant nothing every settles.
The only time a spring should settle is once it's past it's life.

Default I prefer to say that I have more feeling than stock
and the cornering with the vgts quickly makes you forget about it

Default I don't drive a cadilac, not sure what you think is harsh, I think the ride
and handling are WAY better than stock. No pogo either.
