Installed BMR 1" drop springs today
I finally installed some drop springs today and I love the stance. So far these are my only suspension mod but I could tell a difference in handling right away. I'll be getting an alignment soon once the springs have settled

My BMR springs didn't need to settle.
I greased the hell out of all the poly bushings i put in at the same time, though, and clocked them while on the ground. I think that helped with most of the "settling" that people talk about. 3 minutes after installing: 2+ years after installing:

You need to time the bushings and get an alignment asap.

Did I screw something up or with the alignment/bushing timing fix this? Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk |

Then I'd just take it for a drive - find some uneven roads to get your suspension working.
