4th Generation New Shocks and Springs!

I just got new Tokico shocks and Tenzo R lowering springs put on my 97 Camry. Just wanted to know if there is anything special I need to do to "break them in" or just drive normally? Any info would be appreciated. BTW it looks bada$$!!

they will settle down, "break-in" on their own. the weight of the car will do that,
just drive as you normally would.

I just changed my struts as well and waiting for the set to break-in. Like mentioned, you don't need to do anything special. Just drive like normal and eventually it will settle itself.

It actually takes about a good week or two.
