Installed - Espelir springs
Just a few shots of the ride height now that they seem to have settled. Overall I like them a lot. Not too agressive but you def. feel the road more and reduced body roll.

The espelirs I purchased through vividracing were a 1.2 inch drop front and back. Maybe they have 2 different sets not but the ones installed above did a 1.2" front and rear.

According to the listings I've seen the espelir's are a 30mm drop and I would have to say that's pretty close to my drop. I love these springs too. Potent, Glad everything worked out with your install.

Well what happened was the shop I took it to get installed, they assembled my right rear passenger side shock together wrong. Made some LOUD noises over bumps until we found what they did wrong.

just for us who decide to install springs we know what to look and listen for if there was a mistake in installation...
im afraid if i just heard a bump over some bumps, i would just assume it was because of the bumps! and not because of the installation...
thanks for an elaboration

As long as you take your time there shouldnt be any problems. Its actually a very east install but I didnt have access to a lift so I decided to take it to a customs shop to get them installed. After they "completed, I took it for a test ride before I paid them and I hit some railroad tracks and it literally sounded like someone hit the side of my car with a sledge hammer. Wasnt a subtle noise at all and was quite obvious that someone did something wrong. After we took it apart and put it back together a few times. (we orginally thought the spring wasn't seated properly) We finally took the whole assembly apart and found that one of the bushings inside the shock was misplaced. Just take your time and its a easy install especially if you get a couple buddies to join in on the fun. ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
BTW its normal to hear a few noises over bumps when you first get them in, its just the springs settling. Nothing loud though just normal suspension noises that'll stopp after you put some miles on them.
