Well just installed my espelir asd springs on my car and it's settled a bit since i drove it around a lot after the installation.. But it still seems like the rear is lower then the front.. is that normal for espelirs?

Is it as easy to get the Espelir's reversed as it is with the Eibach's?

If so, that might be the problem. Otherwise I'd guess that the suspension might not have been compressed before things were torqued back down. I have no experience with Espelir's though, so I'm just guessing.

The espelir's will continue to settle for awhile...

Give it two weeks if driven, even longer of she sits in your garage.

What perch did you install on?

I have the Espelir/ koni yellow setup. The front is noticeably lower than the rears. I have them set on the lower perch. I am going to raise it up to the top perch this week. Way too low for me. I scrape on everything.
