coilover settle time ?

I looked this up but keep getting mixed answers. Some people say yes some say no.

I plan on going to get my front and rear spc camber kits installed along with my tein basis coilovers, then get the car aligned at the same shop.

Do coilovers need time to settle ?

I had my suspension done all at the same time (coilovers, F&R camber kits, alignment). I don't think they will settle too much to the point where your alignment will be thrown off further.

Pretty much what 93 said^^^there will be a slight bit of settling just due to new parts being put under load, but nothing like lowering springs. If you can have your alignment shop get it well in-spec you should have room to settle in without worry.
