My car has been sitting with no motor or trans for about 6 months or so...i have dropzone springs and have had them on for a couple of years and the car sat just fine....but since having no motor or trans I have removed the springs and struts to do some work and put them back on...I have since installed the motor but still no trans yet....and the front end is sitting way high...when will it all settle back down? after I drive it?

did you move the car any after you dropped it back on the ground??? if you didnt, there is your problem.. the camber from the fully extended suspension will wedge the tires inwards and keep the suspension from settling.. give it a push back and forth and it will settle.. if not, you installed the springs differently from how you took them out..

nah I havent moved it at all..just dropped it back down after doing the motor mounts..thats why I had to remove the springs...and then set the new motor in the engine bay...so the car hasnt been at all...its sitting on jack stands on the rear but the front is on the ground.
