I like dem rims, yo! How much did they cost you?

[tom6433]

yeah nice wheels. enkei's are in this time of year

[soulstrife]

175/ea free shipping had a friend that used to work at the Discount Tire near by... I need one new rim if i decide to keep em....bent the H outta one on a deep pothole :(

[soulstrife]

Found one with the drop! The back as settled a little bit more....plus this is pre-alignment too, notice how far the front tire sticks out?

[tom6433]

wow, are you sure the springs are on there right? so you have a full side shot so we can see the front and rear gaps?

[soulstrife]

not since they settled....i'll take pics tomorrow if it's not raining. the guy that did this works at a pretty well know shop down the street...i'd assume he'd do it right.

the rear springs are the ones with the black wrap on it right?

which ones do you think are the front?

[tom6433]

the fronts are on the right. the springs with the most coils go in the rear.

[soulstrife]

Left side front

yeah that is what we did. the ones with the most coils had this black wrap stuff on em...

[tom6433]

let me do some searching, but if i had to make a guess i would say that there is some kind of installation error.

[tom6433]

yeah that is what we did. the ones with the most coils had this black wrap stuff on em...
yeah that is right. maybe he did what i did and just didn't put the fronts on right? i am going to do some searching for some pics of other ppl's cars with the same springs so we can compare.

[soulstrife]

hmmm!!

alrighty. if i HAVE to I can take it to the dealership.....unless someone has a spring compressor and is willing to help me on this. I need to get the stock bump stops back in as well...those that came with the kit hit hard!!.

time for bed, and thanks for the help. be back tomorrow!

what is there to be different? I told him to follow the instructions that came with the springs...but he said...naw i know what i'm doing...

i dunno, it just looks to me like the rear is too high and the front is too low.

i am 95% sure i have a spring compressor around here somewhere if u would like to use it
