So I was checking out my Eibach pro street lowering springs on my car, how its been settling...so far I havent noticed a difference. Maybe cause I dont drive it much, but for some reason it "LOOKS" like they are butterflying like the ricers IDK if they are suppose to do that OR if its my eyes playing a trick, but someone needs to check them out QUICK!

Take a picture if you can Andy. What do you mean by butterflying?

People think springs settle wayyyyy more than they really do. Yes, they definitely settle as they are compressed from the loads incurred during driving, but it doesn't take too long. Lots of people even wait for their springs to fully settle for 3-6 months haha. That's obviously too long. Overall that thing should be noticeable if it's at least an inch of drop. If not, we need to figure out what's wrong.

oh dont worry they will settle , trust me ! been there done that, hopefully they dont settle as much as mine did, when I had my eibachs on my camaro after about 3 months they got really loose and I was hitting every bump with my front bumper because there was hardly any tension, others have had eibachs on their camaros and have no issues, I on the other hand had tons of issues but a lot of it was due to a couple of incompetent idiots at a shop in riverside who installed them about a year ago
