Default How long?

will it take for the front of car to settle after its been lowered on the stock bolts,or how many miles approx should it take,and will it settle even on both sides,right now i am about a 1/4 off on the left side,and i thought i turned them all the way,but only went for a 3 or 4 mile spin,should that do it,do i need to give some more time or put it back in the air and try to get some more adjustment ,thanks

Just a few miles and it will settle. I'd wait 100 miles or so until alignment.

I did approx. 100 miles of varied driving/braking before I had mine aligned. It needed an alignment. I lowered mine on oem bolts/oem uncut bushings.

Regarding "will it settle even on both sides", mine did not even after the varied driving/braking period. I needed to do very minor adjustments to get equal measurements side to side front/rear.
