Installed my espelir springs.

I just got my espelir lowering springs installed and its supposed to give 1.2" Inch drop in front and rear. Im not sure if it did. Does my car look like its dropped from stock?

While you're at it, get rid of the double lipception ghetto home depot lip. Wouldn't hurt to get rid of the tinted side markers, tinted tails, and stickers also.

I don't think it's necessary myself. If someone asks for opinions then sure but OP just wanted to know if his drop looked right. If we all had the same taste we'd all drive the same car in the same color.

OP if you like it then that's all that matters. I have an evo VIII wing on mine that i have gotten opinions on and guess what? Only mine matters your drop looks nice btw.

^ what he said if we were all had the same taste we be driving Hondas ,,, Vtec power lol... Hey man car looks good different is good I like , believe me if you had a 3 rotor every one will
Be kissing your *** and not saying a word about your wing,, seen it a million times in rx7club.com for the past 5 years.. Put some power under hood and the wing will match it .. And it does look lower than mine if you did preload let it settle and drive it you will see it is lowered.

if he installed a 20b turbo i'd still flame him for the wing

BTW that wing provides no downforce since its bolted to the trunk, it is not functional so if he had huge power it would not match it

yeahhhh

You're not flaming anyone. Just making yourself look ignorant. So according to you we can only put stuff on our car that's functional? So everyone that put clear corners, different rims, fender strakes, bodykit, intake, catback etc. On our car that doesn't do anything really to the car is open for your ridicule? Lol you're gonna be a busy boy. Maybe you should just let people do what they want and reserve your opinions for people that ask for them. It's easy to sit on a forum and make fun of people. Doesn't mean you should. Just my 2c.
