Evening,

Quick question, how do cones take to "settle" to a proper ride high. Changed the cones, knuckles and rear subframe so it now sits a bit high.

Ta for the info.

Had to change the rack so that's out as well.

the front should settle quicker as the weight of the engine

Fronts never got changed, just the rears. The rear subframe was a bit shoddy and bent, so I changed it and found the cones to be different levels of squishy so changed them.

If its just the back, then it should be ok... changing the height at the back doesnt affect the toe at the rear... the front though is a different story...
