I had the same problem. I jacked up my car, took everything apart to find that the stickers for F and R were still on the spring and all springs in the right place. I contacted Mackin Industries (distributor for Espilir) and they told me to contact the people I bought it from (Evasive) who will do the warrenty swap.
I did preload the suspension also. I still have a 2.5 finger gap in the front and less than 1 in the back.

You can get to the full sized version and zoom in pretty far. This is an old pic, but they havn't settled any more.

This is the only other pics I have already uploaded. I'm at work so, I don't have access to any others.
I did rub, but I rolled my fenders and have 1.5 degrees of negative camber.

Thanks again yellow .. do you have pics of the rear? =P

And when you said 1.5 you meant all 4 corners? Someone suggest negative 2 in teh front and 3 in the rear.

lowering springs dont need preloading, cuz it serves its purpose, ur rubbing cuz the spring rate on the springs suck and the ride height, i don't use ASDs anymore cuz of that reason, you can roll your fenders in the rear after you get your alignment, theres nothing you can do about it in the front.
[QUOTE=v2deLsoL,Oct 21 2007, 02:41 PM]i have these... you're springs are backwards.

I just put mine on last night. There is a differnce on the springs.

2 of the springs the coils gap get smaller towards the end, the other 2 springs the gap are all even spaced.

I put the springs with the smaller coils on the rear and the even coils in the front. So far the rears has about 1/2 inch gap, and the front has about 1- 1-1/2. It will settle more(hopfully), worst case after 2-3wks if the drop looks uneven, i will swap front with rear and see how that goes for another week or so.
