ok, first off thank you John for helping me out.

The reason I got these springs are follows:

1.lowers .79 all around. (despite the recent comments about the front being lowered 1.5 inches, I still have to see. The bump stop on my car is cut in half).

This is also beneficial, because it doesn't disturb the balance of the car by lowering too much up front (where evo's a front loading car at turns).

This is the closest spec springs to Ralliart springs.

2. quality is excellent. ( Espelir is a well known company in Japan for their suspension components, maybe even better than TEins)

also the weight of the springs were next to nothing, say to compare them with eibach or some other springs.

3. the Espelir GT springs are linear and what I wanted was progressive rate springs.

I know that linear setup is what you need but for comfort in daily driving and weekend road race and mostly autox, i think this setup will work better.

4. i got a deal on these springs, new! thank you, you know who.


Difference is noticeable. WIth the first hard turn you do, you'll notice that the car rolls a lot less and sways a lot less as well.

However, there is still an understeer. bit more noticeable on some corner/turn setups than the stock. I'm thinking the hotchkis swaybar will correct this as well as the alignment.

the bumps are actually a bit less harsher and transition between bump to smooth surface is a lot smoother.

when you get out of the car, you'll notice it's sitting a lot lower. this could be good or bad. I personally don't like that, but it's one of those things with lowered cars.

ONce measured the front fender and rear fender to center of the rim, they are perfectly even now.

without the sagging setting in, the car looks like how it should of came out from the factory. How BMW sets their cars up.

overall, I'm loving these springs.

Looks of the car is a lot more aggressive and i had no problem clearing my driveway. ( bit of a bump). But I did scraped a bit coming out of johns garage.


I'll take some pictures pre sag and post sag. Pre sag tomorrow, so I could wash my pollen covered car.

I'll post the how to later.

 

I'll see you at the meet! My cousin inlaw might come too. He's a photographer and does great work.

 

sweet. the drop looks good.

it almost looks like it's not even dropped, if you don't know how high the evo stock front fender gaps are.

 

any pics yet ?

 

yeh, i'll post it in the morning.

i havne't gotten it out of the memory card yet.

go there for now for the picture. Mine is the red one there.

there are some stock height ones at the meeting, with sprint springs, tein s etc.

i'll post the side by side comparison picture soon.

I don't know what other people said, the front does not lower more than an inch up front on Espelir ASD springs.

I think they installed it wrong or cut the bump stop wrong...

 

any more pics of you car , nice side shot , thanks
