I would look at the springs.. they might be backwards. the rears might go to the front. my buddy had asd's and it look veryy nice not like that lol

the front is ridiculously higher than the rear, i have them myself and know a few members on here with the same springs and we all have the rear pretty low with almost no finger gap, but the front we can fit about 2 fingers.

the front height is the only thing i dont like about espelirs but nonetheless, still are kick ass springs
Thats weird mine are pretty even. Maybe you as well installed them backwards?

i just took my wheels off to have a look and confirm they been installed the right way(if i compare them to the 2 pictures from 07rios2k) ,
so that mean they probably didnt preload the front springs...
and something else i noticed is
i dont even have a finger gap on the rear driver side and 1 finger gap on the rear passenger side...

is it to late to preload them?,can i re-install them ?

thanks for your help guys...

yea you can always go back and pre load the suspension... try loosening the upper control arm bolts, jack the suspension up, then tighten them back up... see if that help... that alone gave me almost a whole inch... let us know what the update is after that...

Yeah I have an Eibach Pro Kit springs put in and I have less wheel gap in the front than thoseand the Espelir's should be a good bit lower than the eibachs.

Wow... I worry now because that means the upper control arm bushins have been taking crazy abuse. If there is squeaking after wards or any strange noise, suspect them first heh. Learned that off of my crx when i didnt preload the rears 0.0 bye bye bushings for me -.-
