my box did say Lancer Evolution 8 on it and Im under the impression that there are only 1 type of Espleir springs for our car.......

I think they may offer the GT soon?

 

I think that for teh evo there are ASD and Gt flavors
with the GT being a signifcantly lower spring (red in color).

 

they are actually developing a gt spring for the u.s. as we speak. from my understanding they will be significantly stiffer than asd, and will not lower the car quite as much.

 

well my springs are blue, i think coilovers next year.....

Mine are in and after todays first Autox with tehm

Aligned at -2.0 fromnt adn -1.5 rear both ends wiht 1/32in toe in

I took top raw time of the day and finished second on pax time.

so yes, they are lower than sotck, adn a lot lower than advertised and explained, but the heandle very well, and helped to balance out the understeer in the evo.

 

well, they arent what I thought, but sometimes surprises can be nice..... im not sure this is one of those cases, but Im overall happy enough.......

If you can give me the (real) drop front and rear I will update the Spring rate chart.

 

OK, after alignment and a good hard day of AutoX to be sure they are seated and settled.

The measurements from wheel center to wheelwell lip (Pictures are for example of measurement location only. I measured accurately first, then held tape and took picture to show area measured.)

Front 13 5/8"
Rear 12 5/8"

Front..................Rear


I do not have original measurements , but someone else should be able to provide those if you do not already have them. I can tell you the drop is a great deal more than 3/4"

 

I installed these about six months ago and love them. I contacted both Mackin and Vivid Racing to tell them that the drop they advertise is wrong. Both insisted that a 20mm drop front and back was what would occur dispite photos of my car that clearly demonstrate this is NOT TRUE.

When I first starting researching springs I was attracted to ASD because of the deep but still productive lowering. A search will bring up my impressions and some great photos of other members with these springs showing much lower that 3/4" drop.

I'm glad you like your springs. Good luck.

 

works for me....... still wish it was .79 lower vs like 1.5? now i may need a camber kit, going coilovers next year anyhow......

Bringing this old thread back to life because I installed some dead stock bnib Espelir ASD "street" lowering springs. I only experienced a 1" drop click the link for details https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/pr...l#post11883061
