pics of spool springs on my MP3

[PaulMP3]

here are some pics. I installed them yesterday, as u can see the weather is very wet. I took these pics as soon as the rain stopped. I'll take some more once it settles a bit more, and it washed up.

Looks great, wheel gap sucks and by the looks of it you have solved that problem.

is it jst me or does the front look almost like it sits higher than the back?

Seems the difference isn't huge compare to the stock springs, especially the rear. How much drop is that?

Looks good
Its a 2 inch drop, any lower and you will degrade your ride comfort, handling and suspension geometry. These are lowest one could go with the stock shocks

Sky, i agree with you. From the looks of spool springs, the back height compared to stock is about the same. The front on the other hand is definetely lower then stock by at least an 1".

How is the ride?

I think it looks perfect, once you have 2 passengers in the car.

The rears always take about 4-10 days to settle, you can accelerate this by putting heavy stuff in the trunk for a few days. Once the springs settle the rears will be level with the fronts
Its a 2ich drop all around

Here is what they look like settled

Now, that's dropped.

If after the drop, the car still look like what paulmp3 shown, I dun waste my $ on the springs then, but spoolinmpe just convince me by shown his pic that the spring worth the $.

The drop looks even to me.

damnit now i need some money.....

 

[PaulMP3]

believe me it is low. the pics dont do justice. I took b4 pics with a tape measure. i will take some after pics once it settles to see what the actual drop is. I think it looks dope.

 

[PaulMP3]

there is about a finger gap in the front and the back.

I suggest after the springs settle, to tighten the dead center bolts on the top of each strut, but only if you develop a squeak, which this will cure. =)

its is very even i was expecting the back to be higher. the first pic is the best one b/c it is from a normal point of veiw. I think ill let them settle a few more days b4 aligning them. i had like 200lbs last night. i will probally put it back in 2 night.
