Wink Espelir

Today my car got some goodies, including a K&N FIPK, new front tires, and the most noticeable Espelir springs. I am amazed how much they feel like stock springs, yet still lower the car a very noticeable amount. I will post up before and after pics after they settle a bit more, but wow, I am very impressed my Espelir. to them.

I got the same intake and springs... IMO it has the perfect drop. I also have koni yellows with the springs and they handle great. I would really recommend these springs to anyone in the market for springs that feel stock with a nice drop

This is the day after they were installed, so they may settle just a tab more.

They should settle a little more. My espelirs are about an inch lower all around than yours.

Did you preload?

Your Car looks great after the drop btw

Heres a really blurry pic of my fronts after a few months or so. They were lower than yours by a bit from the start though. I preloaded them myself.

mine looks like his.

Preload means to lower your car before you tourqe up the bolts fully, i believe. Or jack up the suspension so it'll act like the car is already on the ground before tourqing it down.

correct me if i'm wrong
