I think my springs should have already settled, but the front is still too high. I saw another local member's car with the same springs, and he has 1 finger gap, I have 2-3. It has been 2 weeks since the car was lowered. The rears seemed to be fine. Is there something that could have gone wrong?
Did you preload the front supsension before you tighten all the bolts? If you didnt the upper control arm is binding and not letting the suspension settle all the way. I had the same thing happen to me. At first it was a 2 and a half finger gap but after I preloaded and tighten I down to a 1 finger gap
Holy heck I'm in the same boat. I installed my Espelirs and my back looks perfect and the front is still a bit higher than I expected. Could someone point us out how to preload the front suspension cause I'm a bone head and didn't do it. Hehe, live and learn : )
the obvious thing to check is to see if the end of the(lower end btw) is seating flush with the spring perch.
if it's not seating flush with the perch the spring might be higher on one side than other, it happen most of the time when the installer forgot to align the spring and try to twist the damper/spring to fit with the control arm.
