A good way to “settle” the springs is to jump a set of train tracks. Works everytime, ask Gatville.

i am confused guys… i always thought springs settled. on all of my hoppers you have to hop on the full stack for awhile before they will collapse to the proper height. THEY ARE 5 TON SPRINGS! So how could a dinky ass stock spring not settle as well? I’m not a metallurgist nor a rocket scientist, i just know for sure that my springs break in. I’m sure there’s a video floating around to prove it (not to mention a bunch of witnesses from that night at McDonalds HA). I would say that from before/after break in (on hoppers anyway) the springs lost the equivalent height of 1/2 turn. Installed they were so tight there was no suspension movement. After break in they was space between the spring the perch. Someone explain!
