When to install H&R Springs

frenchfries · 10-11-2013, 11:12 PM

When is a good time to install springs? After the break-in period? My car would be equipped with DHP and i am planning to install H&R sport springs in the future. (the earlier the better)
Is it a good idea to install it right when i get the car? or wait a couple of thousand miles first? does it matter?

Earlier the better - you won't get your hands dirty if the car's brand new

In that case. i will order it when i get my car! so there's no such thing as a 'break in' for suspension?

Everything typically breaks in with use, but the statement is overused and a bit of a misnomer. I installed my springs within 2 weeks of purchasing the car. I haven't even owned my car a month yet, and it has gone through quite a transformation.
