I ordered the RoW kit today instead of mixing and matching shocks,springs and so on. I ordered the last one in the U.S.,so if anyone else wants a 5spd RoW kit you have to wait 6 weeks from ordering until they show up from Germany,

. After the parts show up I will be calling my indy mechanic to do the install and hopefully I can have everything finished by mid-late April. Any suggestions or break in rules apply to a new suspension?

They will actually settle about 1/4 to 1/2 inch more after a couple of days, so when they are first done, dont get upset if they dont look like you thought they would.

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.
