My 2 inch drop springs finally settled after 400 miles of rough driving

Everyone said I needed coilovers to get the look right but I tried a cheap set of drop springs from Summit Racing anyway. They rode stiff for weeks then softened up nice how is that any different from breaking in a new set of Bilsteins?

400 miles of rough driving" is just breaking in cheap parts, not the same as quality gear settling.

Yeah, "just breaking in cheap parts" reminded me of this buddy who bought a budget mountain bike and spent a whole weekend doing rough trails to "seat the suspension." Thing ended up with a cracked frame after maybe 50 miles, not even close to settled. Sometimes pushing gear hard just shows you bought junk faster.
