Will a new car suspension get lower after breaking it in
Just curious if the car will get lower after being driven for awhile? Or has the suspension and springs come pre-settled already from the factory upon completion?

Will a new (car suspension) get lower after breaking it in? Yes.
Will a (new car) suspension get lower after breaking it in? No. It's the weight of the car compressing new springs that make it lower. Unless your new car was somehow built yesterday it has more than likely settled by the time you take delivery. |
