im sure everyone here has heard by now of the sedan coupe difference problem with neuspeed sports. well i got the correct springs from neuspeed for the rear of my coupe and it still sits high in the rear. (the front is 1 finger, the rear is 2-1/2.) wondering if anyone has any sugestions on what to do. i am really pissed off now at neuspeed and am about to cut the springs.[hr]
If you just got them, give them a few weeks to settle......

i just tried measuring it... its not that easy. but i estimated about an inch gap. so that would make it less then 2 finger gap. maybe like 1 1/2 with my fingers. so i guess 1 with your finger in the front would be about right... but ya the back 1 compared to 2 1/2 is alot. i'm pretty sure they sent you the sedan ones again.
Okay Spider883 and I are installing the neuspeeds this saturday and we both have the .61's (made for sedan) I just don't see a problem with the difference in wheel gap... looks good to me.
both of these are the .61's
its like VNlilMAN said, it looks fin in the pictures, but it looks high in person. the only solution for me now is to cut them, cause im not dealing with neuspeed anymore.
Oh yeah VNlilMAN congrats on moderator upgrade. you give good info in this forum
Just noticed the mod status, congrats Yea supermex has the neuspeeds cut, can't find a pic but its really low in person. Anyways, my sub box pushes my back end down a fraction of an inch now so that should cancel out a bit of the difference. It really doesn't matter to me, oh well.
[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] thanks, first people to congrat me....
sorry you guys have been having trouble with neuspeed. my personal experience, i thought they were a great company. talked to two people, one just a regular worker and the other joe the manager of sales. they were both really nice and had no problems with me wanting to change my springs. their headquarters were an hour away so i made an appointment for the upcoming tuesday, went, got it done in an hour n got out. i'm thinking its because i was the first one to ask for this. but ya i'm sure cutting the bottom coil(s) won't affect the ride because they touch together when its on the car anyways. someone correct me if i'm wrong tho.
btw anyone know how much it costs to cut your springs? hey i might be a mod but just like everyone else i got alot to learn.
cutting springs isn't something most shops like to do becaue it srews up the spring rate of the coil. so there really is no price, i can give you at least. My friend works at a gas station, and has a cutting wheel, and a lift, so im doin there for nuthin. Well execpt the cost of a wendys value meal[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Cutting it won't affect the spring rate 'cause there are 'dead coils on one side of the neuspeed sports (sedan model) as I was told by a neuspeed rep.
I just finished taking apart my rear suspension this afternoon and have cut one coil off each side of the rears. The part to cut is the bottom where the coils are closely packed together. They were easily cut with a dremel tool and heavy duty cutting wheel.
The result is amazing. It looks a million times better now and has an even drop (2 finger gap all around).
I have a coupe but originally had the sedan springs installed. Now that I've cut them it looks awesome. Pics will be up soon so you guys can see. I'm very happy with the ride too.
Don't put the coupe springs on a sedan. If you have passengers in the rear that thing will look major saggy but. the body style of the sedan makes the rear look lower already.
