Finally bite the bullet...! :)

Come on now,I know about 50% of the forum members have upgraded their suspension. None of you guys were advised to take it easy for the first 500 miles or something like that on the new suspension?

Well, go 500 miles then check the torque on the sway bars. Thats about all I know about.

I dont see any reason to break it in by taking it easy. The only break in is letting the springs settle and that is noticeable when the car gets a little lower. Other than that enjoy the new setup. I am planning on doing this as well. Hopefully sooner than later.

Look at what showed up today!

First thing id do is paint the springs bright blue or red. Just me though.

blink, no break-in is necessary for new suspension pieces. Just bolt them on and enjoy!

Hi,

I think a break-in is prudent with this setup. The Shock/Strut Seals will establish wear patterns in their Bores over the first few hundred miles and the Bushings will as well.

Not saying that it's absolutely necessary, but over the long run, I bet those broken-in experience fewer problems with wear and leaking prematurely than those which were immediately taken to the limit...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
