Do I need to have aftermarket suspension adjusted after "break in"

Quisp · 04-08-2009, 11:04 PM

This might be a dumb question, but I like to live dangerously. I switched the suspension on a 2007 335 coupe to Koni FSD with Eibach Pro Springs and Hotchkis sway bars front and rear. I know that this is not an adjustable setup like coilovers, but do I need to have anything done, tightened or adjusted after driving on them for a period of time? (Like after a break in period.)
I have searched but not found any answers to this perplexing(at least to me) question.

If you've done alignment after changing your suspension to a new one than everything is ok and you do not need to do anything else now or after some period. If not - do the alignment.

Provided they are installed correctly, you just need to have the car aligned and should be set to go. You do want to inspect it with regular maintenance but you should not have to continually tighten.
