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.

 

another

 

last one...

 

oops, forgot the front angle..

 

Looks good. :D

 

Looks good , a very similar drop to the Tein H or are the Espiler a bit lower?

 

the Htechs = 1" front 0.5" rear
the Espelirs = 1.4" front 0.7" rear

hope that helps.
Cheers

 

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.

 

sangrine_dark also purchased his from vivid racing. his drop is comparable. i thnk he got 1.25 front and rear. he can clarify if i am mistaken, however, the drop looked good.

 

Theres just one set of Espelir springs for the 8..

Vividracing origionally said it was 1" front and back

but maybe its 1.2" after its settled.

 

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.

 

yeah its all better now.. thanks again for helping out

 

So what was wrong with the spring install? You were getting some severe jarring over bumps out of one of the rear corners.

 

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.

 

Looks good. Very much like the Tein S-tech on my 8.

 

Hey potent, could you pleae describe this situation more carefully,

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.

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.

 

wonderful! thanks for the info..
