Hello 6gc community,

I installed a set of M2 springs on my celica awhile back and it did not drop at all it stayed the stock height. I know, I know might be just the damn cheap springs but I researched a little online and read similar situations with pricier springs. Just want to know what possibilities can be why it didn't lower. Other than its M2 springs.... I read 50/50 review on those...... Thanks

How long is a while back? It takes a little bit of time for them to settle

The settling shouldn't take more than 1-2 weeks and it for sure shouldn't take longer than a month. If it's been longer than that...

I dont really think M2 has a good rep with their products

normally before putting on springs, I would measure the two, besides spring rates being different, every single lowering spring ive come across was at least a bit shorter than the stock.

Once you're done and its rolled, it should sit fairly close to the expected advertised height. A few days for it to really settle.

Sorry forgot to put in that vital info. I've had them installed for about four months so settling is outs the question. Now that i really look at it measurements, only the rear dropped haha o well that's what i get for going cheap and expecti ng great results . Thank you people for the answers! Still learining!

Mine took three months to settle fully, but they are on the stiffer side of the spring spectrum.

springs shouldnt really settle that long, probably really stiff rates might but regular ones should take a week or two. Thing is those cheap ones have no QA QC on their products.

ST vs. GT - less weight on the front means longer settling time.
