lil upate here guys
Just went back to AJ-Racing, i ask Ben if its possible they forgot to preload the spring and is answer was, u cant preload a lower spring, you can only preload coilovers... he said also, that japanese spring dont settle down,only the cheap american brand will settle down... He didnt even want to look at them he said they only thing u can do is cut the bump stop.... i try to argue a lilttle bit and he said something about is 18 years of experience..... 18 years behind a counter selling T1R parts yahh.....



im gonna try what s2k_ed recommend me tomorrow probably and see what happen, i will check the bushing too...

FWIW My springs installed left me with 1- 1.5 finger gap even before they settled.

Too bad you don't live around here... I would see what the problem was.

Are you 100% sure from the pics I posted that they aren't backwards?

you should remove your wheel and take pictures so we can examine what the hell is going on.

When i first installed the espelirs, I forgot to preload them and the fronts were higher then the rears too. About 2 finger gap in the front and 1 in the back. I went and preloaded them using the DIY on this site and I got the fronts to be 1 finger gap. Just try what people have said here abut preloading and it might fix it. I had to redo it 4 times before i was satisfied.

Hmm... I've finally received my Espelir ASD and scheduled for this Saturday to have it install. I haven't open the box yet but doesn't these springs have labels to tell you which goes on the fronts?
