Talking Installed Espelir springs on my S...

The install took about 4 hours, but included a few smoke breaks-- and a couple of breaks trying to get the damned Driver's rear done...

Could do it again in about 2 probably, now that I've done it once...
Note: This was so much easier than doing my Civic Si...

Espelir vs. Stock:


Before:



After:





I'm really happy with these springs so far... They have settled a bit after 2 days, and I now have a "tight" 2-finger gap at all 4 corners... The ride is very close to stock , and I have noticed a reduction in body roll while cornering...

I am waiting to put my new 245's (S03's) put on this Friday, and will get an alignment...

Wait for, at least, 3 weeks before jump on an alignment machine.

For real?

Do you think it takes that long for the springs to settle?

I need to put on my new 245/45/16 S03's soon, and I was hoping to get both done this weekend...

It will have been a week...

Seriously!

Mine took the whole 3 months! Plus, 3 aligments in that piriod and didn't even hold up!

I drive around 1k a month, if you drive the car more and harder than me, you might cut it down to 3-5 weeks.

But becareful, though, don't drive near the limit as your aligment is so f*cked up right now, very dangerous, once you get on the machine, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Drive safe, 'bud!

P.S. Dont forget to re-align your head light, it's waaaaay too low right now. After things sattle down, give it a turn up couple of notch too.
