    Ya know in reading sooooooooo, many comments on other forums about this brand and that brand of spring brand I noticed that the off brands tended to have more people complaining about settling. But I still kinda worried about it in the back of my mind. I went with the spring company that I found had by far the most positve comments by a wide margin. And ya know, I never noticed any settling ever. Not to say it can't happen, just that it didn't happen to me. Go figure.:p

    i shopped around a lot too, but settling was never really something i thought about. i am not compaining becasue the car handled the same throughout the settling process, and my reason for buying springs was like 60% handling 40% looks. that's why i went with a reputable brand and spent a little more rather than just get the cheapest lowest spring i could find. I am really happy with the Neuspeeds.
