Breaking in new springs?

Hi guys,
Was just wondering. I just install Swift Springs and it was fine. I drove it around lightly just to make sure there were no weird noises and everything was fine. However, I was just wondering how long should I wait before driving on them hard. thanks.

I don't know about driving hard on them, but you should let them settle about a week before getting a wheel alignment.

I waited a week before getting my allignment on them. I wouldn't drive hard on a car without an allignment anyway -- car will be all over the place. Basically it could feel like an unfolded lawn chair...that would be bad.

However, once you do get your car alligned -- please chime in on this post:

I'm curious if your car will have the same issue -- the thunking noise. For your sake, I hope you do not -- but if we get more people with this issue it sounds like an issue with the spring itself.
