Break in period after dropping

I just dropped the max today on Gr-2's with maxspeeds. What is the usual break in period before its "settled" and can be pushed to its limits. And is there any special procedures that need to be taken?

Thanks.

i just got the same setup put into my car a couple weeks ago, only thing was that my springs were used. the ride is all good only thing is that i get these squeeks whenever i go over a speed bump

Voutgland springs with gr2.. i can honestly say the ride is smoother with these than the stock springs and kyb.. also feels well planted and stirdy.. streering got a bit stiff ( i like that) and its awesome.. perfect drop.. the springs are immaculate.. i never though they would be liek t his.. i thought it was gonna be rough as hell.. but its not... my srpings were original for the MAXIMA QX ... got them here from europe.... some of the NYC city streets are a bit rough becuase there isnt really that much of a travel space anymore.. but majority of local streets are
