Neuspeed Sports~wierd situation....

Ok to make a long story short..... I had to pack 4 people in the back of my car last night (1 little girl, and the others avg about 110lbs each) Anyways I had no other choice, trust me!!! Well while I was filling up gas I see that my rear tire is going into my fenderwell about 1 inch. Well I knew then that something was gonna happen. I look at my car today and on the left side rear there are 3 coils stacked on top of eachother as they're sitting on the bottom of the strut. On the right side there are 4 coils stacked up. My car in the back is lower now for sure than it was b4 last night, but the drop is still even on both sides. It drives normal, but its freaking me out... Whats up???

Also, does Neuspeed have a warranty or anything? I'm gonna wait for the Tokico's to come out (WHENEVER THAT IS) so I can start over. Put the shocks on and if needed some new springs. I think I'm gonna go lower though with some Neuspeed Race if its needed to buy new ones. And I have to make sure to install the front springs the correct position this time....

WHEN DO TOKICOS COME OUT AND HOW MUCH?? I WANT!!!

when did you get them installed? i'm guessing recently cause your back dropped a lil more.. this is probably caused by the 'settling in' proccess... as for the coils stacked up together, dont worry about it, its normal. i even asked neuspeed. these are called 'dead coils'. thats why its ok to cut one of the dead coils from the sedan to fit the coupe. i think we have that cause if you noticed, neuspeed springs are the same size or even longer then stock springs.. this is so that when you raise your car(during oil change, tire rotation, etc...) the springs wont get out of place. by having it just as long, the spring is still sitting on the lower and upper perch even when fully raised. if it was half the size of stock, the spring would be only touching the upper perch(or bottom perch) since there is all that extra space.
as for tokicos, i heard they were coming out late sept.

edit: spelling

I think the neuspeeds come with lifetime?

My goldlines do...

but ya man, I had to drive around for a little bit before my springs settled. I won't go into any incriminating details, but after 'driving hard' for about an hour, everything settled nice and evenly.

mmm....drop...
