Hi All, I have read lots of comments about newly installed springs having to settle before you really see the height they will maintain. But how about the springs on a brand new car, do they settle also? It makes sense that they would. How long in time or how many miles of driving does this process seem to take?

I've had the car for 5 days/295 miles. I measured the fender height today and was a bit surprised by the measurements. I'm looking for comments. Here are the measurements from the ground to the fender well edge on a line with the wheel hub.

LF 28.75"
LR 28"

RF 28.25"
RR 28.62"
