I am looking into buying these asap...

I have a fair amount of fender gap on the front, and a little on the rear..

Curious how these rate and opinions on them..

Not looking to be slammed, just minimize some gap..

I DO NOT want any rubbing issues...currently riding on 17x7.5" +45F & 17x8.5" +48R on Azenis.

Ideas?

or

 

its good that or tanabe or swift no more than 1.5 inches

 

I doubt this would work, but could you just put the springs on the front, and keep the rears stock?

I think the rear looks fine, curious how it would affect handling..give it a decent rake..

 

Espelirs typically drop the car more in the front than the rear. I have 1 finger gap in the rear, no finger gap in the front. From the looks of your car in the pic, you'd see a slight drop in the rear and a big drop in front. These springs are stiffer than stock, but aren't harsh.. and handling feels pretty much the same. If you're running 225s up front with that offset, you might rub a touch. Don't mix and match springs. If you put these on the front and kept the rear stock, your front rates would be much higher than the rear, instead of the opposite. handling would be adversely affected.

 

I almost found that to be the opposite - when i put espeliers on my 02 it seemed to lower the back a little more.

I believe the drop listed a lower back than front.

I do think that is just to compensate for the stock rake, basically taking it even, with the rear sitting the same height as the front although it may have looked like the rear was lower.


either way, i really liked them. Not slammed, just a nice stance!

(def dont mix and match springs)

 

ok, so they don't typically lower the front more

come to think of it, I've heard others say they have had the same experience as you, with the rear lower.. and of course, I've seen some with the same results as me..

 

+1 FOR ESPELIRS, I LIKE MINE

IT GAVE ME ABOUT 1 FINGER ALL THE WAY AROUND

 

yeah same here about a finger all the way around....if the car seems you think one side is lower then the other don't worry it will settle.

 

I personally love my mine, I have nothing negative to say about them. Here's a few pictures for comparison (stock shocks as well)
