Just to get this out of the way before the flaming starts, in the middle of me trying to search, the search option went down.

I was wondering if there is anyone with before and after pics of being dropped on either Eibach or Espilir springs on stock shocks? Preferrebly if you have the AP2 V1 rims on would be great, but I guess any 17" rims would be good. I know the Eibachs drop about an inch all around and the Espilir closer to 1.2"-1.3". Just curious to see how much of a difference in appearance.

Thanks in advance.

 

Eibachs. 2 degrees of camber in the back and 1.25 in the front.

 

Thanks...Anymore?

 

Espelir ASDs with stock shocks on OEM AP2 V1...plus poor alignment since the guy I took it to didn't know what he was doing.

 

Flip, how much drop did the Espilirs give you? It looks more than what I thought (1.2"-1.3")? Do you end up rubbing on minor bumps?

Oh yea...looks nice, too.

 

i think it gave me more like a 1.5" drop... tires didn't rub with the fender/fender lining with the OEM 17's. I currently have 18" BBSs and the fronts rub slightly on uneven turns since front alignment is within factory specs (no negative camber). The car is better aligned now as well. I also researched the Espelirs before taking the plunge and I must admit i'm happy with them. Here's another pic of it more level with a pic with the 18's as well for comparison...



i'll post my alignment specs if you want...but i'll have to look for it first. Hope it helps.

 

Thanks for the pics Flip. I'm loving the drop on the Espelir. I was thinking of getting the Eibachs, but recently I started to think the 1" drop wasn't enough.
Did the drop with Espelir on the AP2 V1 rims give you a stiffer/harsher ride compared to stock? Or it was still pretty close to stock ride?

Thanks for your help so far Flip.

 

You just helped me out as well flip. I have the espelir springs as well, but was worried how the setup would work with 18's. Now seeing yours i want to get them on.

If you find your alignment specs could you share please

 

The drop is pretty nice on espelirs, but for me, I'm feeling a lot of bumpsteer, to the point where I get agitated whenever I go over bumps. and turning at high speed gets scary with your rear end bouncing everywhere rofl, you get what you paid for ya know
