How long would u let springs bed in for till i know what height there going to be at.
Just fitted a set of 60mm nova springs. Cars sitting at exactly the same height as it was before I changed them.
How much should it drop?
And how long will it take?
Thanks

Had apex corsa 60mm, now got puma 60mm nova springs. And yes they are getting cut.
Nothing dangerous about it. The spring is about 3 coils longer than the original apex ones which means if I take a coil off then they will still sit tight in the shocks when jacked up. Nothin wrong with that.... xx

its dangerous cutting them, even though you think its not "cos they have loads of coil"
