Angry Everyone with neuspeed sports...

the front of my car sits lower than the back. anyone else have this problem. i know its 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the back, but it should be an even drop. Another thing is my back springs are not sitting in the correct position. they turned a little bit. can that affect the height? this happen to anyone else?

yes, the front IS supposed to sit lower. the back of the car is higher to begin with. the front bumper sits lower than the back to begin with as well. that is why the front seems a lot lower than the back but it only seems that way. if you go on your hands and knees and look underneath the car you will notice the underbody of the car, not including the huge gap under the rear bumper, is fairly even to the front.

here's how my rears look like...is that how yours are?


what i want to know is has anyone here gone through a winter with neuspeed sports. how did it go? any bad experiences like scraping the under body on hardened snow, or any other sh*t that might f*ck up your car?

if you should got them installed, wait a couple days. the back usually takes like 3 days to settle.

readjust them. it's not that hard...just jack up the car and twist the spring.

mine sat like that for a while. put some weight in the trunk if its usually empty. that will help the springs settle a bit more. once they do, it will be better.

here's how my rear looks...



...this pic was taken a week or two after i lowered my car, i think the rear is just slightly lower now that they've been on my car for about 3 months.

,,,i wouldn't worry too much about the way the springs are sitting. what are the chances that yours and mine are both sitting the wrong way? besides, i've been driving around like this for 3 months with no problems.
