i hunt them.
where in NOVA are you?

 

Are there any camber problems w/ the espelirs? I am hesitating to buy because of such a low drop. Anyone have fast tire wear w/ these springs?

 

no camber problems.

install them, get it aligned.

i just got mine aligned a few days ago after letting the springs settle for about a week. I used the UK alignment specs , which have about -2* camber in the back.

There will be minimal increased tire wear with this camber setting, but only if you drive in a straight line only. If you take the car around turns, you will be fine. The reason for the slightly negative camber is that in a turn the inside tire will actually be closer to perpendicular to the road, which is a bigger contact patch. i know its minimal but between springs and alignment, its a big improvement.

A few of the others who got theirs installed at my house and aligned have mentioned rubbing. I have the stock 16" ap1 wheels on RE-01Rs and havent rubbed, but its just something to keep in mind.

 

Thanks, great tech info.

One more question, is there only one type of model spring for our cars? I see some sites say from MY01-04, others say 02 and up. Are they all the same or will they make any difference?

 

if you are looking at the espelir spring, there is only one. not 100% sure about others but im pretty confident that they will fit on all years.

side note: CR springs might be different (stiffer?) but aftermarket ones will suffice.

I'm also considering the two but I have a mugen splitter on my ap2 that allready hangs pretty low. Any manage to fit the mugen spliter under some espiler without bottoming it out everywhere?

 

alingment specs probibly play a huge role here too. The people posting pictures should post there specs for alingment

 

im in Chantilly


but yea ive heard about ap2's rubbing with espelirs.. i also have 245/45/17 tires in the rear, so im pretty worried about this... wonder if just a lil camber would solve the problem?

 

You shouldn't rub on stock tires unless hitting extreme bumps/ dips. I'm on 255's in the rear with 15mm spacers and only rub if traveling above 80+mph when hitting large dips on the highway.
