Default Got my springs in

I just got my Espelir ASD springs installed on my OEM shocks. Car feels a little bit softer, and I get quite a bit of bumpsteer. The front a little bit higher than the rear, but hopefully it'll level out when the springs correctly set. I'll have pictures up when I find my digi cam .... forgot where I put it

wired....mine is the opposite....a bit lower in the front. Did you pre-load the suspension before torqueing the suspension components?

You have to load up the suspension before tightening things down or the car will ride too high. That could be why your ride height is higher in the front.

Espelirs lower 20mm in front and 30mm in the rear. They're known to give a slightly uneven drop.

Is there more of a difference than this?

by loading down the suspension do you mean compressing the springs?

Mine looks close to that ... I just hope it'll settle correctly. If it doesn't, should I go back to get them re compressed or something?

I just installed a set of ASD springs a couple weeks ago and got the same issues -- the springs don't settle that much, my front end settled some but it still looks a little higher than that picture.

As far as the bumpsteer, mine is horrible and I'm seriously considering buying some anti-bumpsteer kits front & rear, in the meantime I waited 2 weeks so now it's time to get my car re-aligned, I'll see if that helps.
