Default Espelir Question

I tried doing a search, but it seems like all the threads that could've answered ended up dying w/o an answer lol ..

I recently installed some Espelir ASD (Blue ones w/ only Espelir stickers on them) and the car seems to be dropped unevenly. The rears are almost flush to the fender while hte fronts have a two finger + gap. Is this normal? W/o anything on the springs besides the "Espelir" is there a way to tell if the fronts are the "fronts" ?

Also it seems like the passenger rear is slipping a little .. can an alignment solve this? Can an alignment also solve the rubbing at dips 45mph+? What should I tell the guy to set the degrees at?

wheels are 18x7.5 +48 and 18x8.5 + 50

THANKS IN ADVANCE


PASSENGER REAR

PASSENGER FRONT

DRIVER FRONT

lol you installed those wrong dude! I installed mines and it pretty much provided an even drop with around 1 and a half finger gap on all 4 sides.

I think you installed two rears on one side and one front on the other side. Pretty common mistakes as all 4 looks the same.

Uhm that's how mine are, and its suppose to be that way for the espelir ASD's. Of course mine aren't as noticeable since i'm running stock rims/tires. You can't really get them switched around because they the rears will never fit the front and you'll notice it while installing it. Some people have claimed theirs set properly, but the majority of us who're running these springs have a uneven finish.

Did your guy preload the suspension?

Is there something heavy in your trunk like a sub?

What is your front and rear tire sizes?

Btw, nice wheels.

I lost my digi cam so I haven't been able to get a shot of it recently. Mine has about 1.3 finger lengths in the front and about .8 of a finger length in the back. How long have you had the springs? I've only had mine for about 3 weeks so mine might still set a little more.

Steve, there is nothing in the trunk lol. About the pre-loading there is some discussion about it on my other thread on HT.com .. I am suppose to take it back ot the installer and have him do it. Do I need to do it for the front and back? (some said only the front).

I had the springs for about almost two weeks now. The rear went down right away .. but the front is slowly going down.

Does anybody else have some pictures?

S~Factor - do you have any side profile pics? Or close up pics of the rear vs the fronts?

I noticed my rears are really low. .. like there is barely any gap at all .
