im on espelir springs

 

Well that's not too bad then, if you're sitting at 3.5inches and on lowering springs I'm guessing it'll be something like 4.5 inches on stock suspension? Any idea how much those espelir springs lower your car? And are these springs stiffer than stock (which may help you not to scrape as much)? Maybe I shouldn't be so worried about this kit with stock suspension.

 

i havent measured my drop but i know its lower the 1" in the front... youd probably be fine on stock suspension but it might scrape ..not sure on that though..

 

ok, so i got my greddy kit in this friday and i had time to put it on and test out the fitting/height, after which i took it off - dont wanna be a ricer for a month since hte kit isnt painted yet.

Now heres the big question, how low is it to the ground? make a fist and lay your thumb over your index flat. That is how high off the ground it is, sitting on stock suspention and stock 19's. That compared tot he stock bumper is about half heh, so it does make it seem alot lower.







EDIT: You might notice the grill doesnt look right, this is because the bumper's holes for the grill where SLIGHTLY too small, i easily fixed this witha dremel, but after i took it off so i dont have any pics of it in right, but its perfect now.

 

nice, that bumper look so sweet. Good call taking it off til you can have it painted though. I also have stock suspension and 19's, so after you've got the bumper on letme know your impressions. Also, when you get it back on could you actually measure? Just because people have different size fists and stuff, a real measurement would be a better way.

You're only problems with fitment were that there was too little space for the grill?

 

i purchased the authentic kit, so allignment is perfect, the curves from the fender line up 98% perfectly, and the hood indentations near the headlight are 100%. I actually ran into 2 small problems, the grill was one problem, for some reason the holes where too small, but i shaved about 1/8th an inch off each hole and it snapped perfectly in place. And the second was that at first it would allign fine on one of the fenders,a nd the other fender would be about half an inch off, as if where pushed in towards the engine. I thought maybe the kit was defective at first or that it just wouldnt come out perfect, when i took it off i noticed that one of the 2 holes for the screws would not snap onto the body of the car (fender). The kit had a slight flaw, on each side theres 2 holes, 3 out of the 4 holes where the same size except that one on the side that wasnt clicking in, i just shaved off a little to make it the same size.

After those 2 problems where fixed the kit was worth its price. I dont regret getting the authentic, i would hate to see how the fitment on a replica would have been.

 

my fitment was perfect for the Greddy. On stock suspension with 19's I was about 3 3/4" off the ground in the front. I didn't drop it b/c daily driving would be too hard..
