put a full kit on the other day but the back is still sitting very high. ive never replaced full kit before so was just wondering how long people have waited for the shocks to settle in? my mate i did it for me said around a week which is cool but was just wondering what other people have experienced? cheers

I agree with Steve, which is odd. Settling in is just a myth imo, once you have rolled a couple of feet and the springs have actually settled into position the springs themselves won't get any lower.
