Any rubbing issues at all (tire, front bumper?). That front does look low. Also did you settle to what they say 30mm and 70mm?

I think someone misquoted the lowering spec in an earlier post. Espelir States that the drop is 30mm (1.25") front 40mm (1.6") rear. Just to give you an comparison the eibach prokit is 25.4mm (1.0") all around. Espelir measures their drop before they settle so you end up a lot lower then advertised. I just went from a modified prokit to Espelir last night and to be honest the front sits the same and the rear is a bit higher.. unsettled of course. I don't have any pics of my car with the ASD's on it yet but I do have pics of the prokit and two friends of mine with ASD's.

This is the modified prokit on my car... Rear is unmodified front has 3/4 coil cut


This is the Espelir's unsettled



This is the same car sitting next to an AP2 with the same springs that have been installed for 2 weeks

Guess I can do some before / after / after settling pics when I get around to putting mine in.

Have no pics of mine, but the drop is perfect IMO. My front settled lower than the rear by maybe 1/4".. that leaves less than a finger gap up front, slightly more than a singer gap in the rear. You will not rub with this drop unless you have wheels with ~+45 offset or lower. I rarely have a problem with my front lip either.. you'll get used to it and you will be able to easily identify what parking lots you won't make it into

Did anyone have to install spacers for the rear end? I am hearing that a 30mm front and 70mm back drop in the back may be too much and spacers may be required?
