hmmm skunk2 are 2 inch around there you should half barely a ringer gap imo, i have swift springs 2 finger gap all the way around and its 7. front and 1.0 rears check your suspension.. did you cut the bump stops?

D_Spec

no .. I did not cut them.

do you think they should already be settled? Or will they get lower over some time? I bought them hoping for a 2inch drop.. but dont look like im getting it.

dewey

it takes almost a week maybe half a week for it to settle? i think some1 can confirm that but 2 inch drop on MY03 you should be almost no wheel gap look at the pictures of 619NICK619 he barely has any gap on his ap1

his looks like barely 1 finger gap

D_Spec

thats what i was going for... hmmm. do you know how long before his looked like that? or was it same day?

would cutting my bumpstops make it drop more? because i have never had to do that.

edit: i just read it was the next day. I am a bit frustrated.

No, cutting the bumps stops only keeps you from bottoming out when the suspension flexes for dips/bumps.

Your not riding on the bumpstops (hopefully) so cutting them won't affect how it sits.

oh ok thats cool but yea maybe he has the springs reversed... haha common mistake i suppose

D_Spec

i called the shop where i bought the springs they said the drop is 1.8 and 2.0 .. i put the springs with 8 coils in front and 9 in back (mine had no lables). It sits very even but not really as low as advertised. If i swapped them around how would that effect the lowering of the car?
