looks great so far, I dont think mine is as low in the front as yours is. Can you take a measurement from the center of the fender opening to the center of the wheel for me?

thanks yo!

The only springs that offer a tad larger drop are the RS super low down springs, not to be confused as in their ti2000 line, they make/offer 3 different drops but they are much more expensive and much harder to get/wait for.

Forsure bro, although I dont have time till when i get home late tonight. Your also runninga 205-50 which the diameter is the same as oem so yours should sit exactly how mine sits. ONly issue could possibily be that you could have installed one of your front springs upside down, I did that and was like wtf, she aint low enough so i ripped it apart and said, Kenny you dumb f_uck, lol, Had a drink and did it again in 5 mins :P

But ill measure it up and hopefully they figure out my ssr holding air issue soon

Both my Tanabe logos where face up IIRC, unless they are stupid like some other springs I have had where the logos where actually upside down when installed properly.

Ill take a measurement of mine and add to this thread.

Front:



13" from hub center to bottom of fender.

Rear:



12.25" from hub center to fender.

Hum, as long as logos were right side up your good to go, Did you pre load the spring when tighening everything as that could affect it? Your handy bro, youll figure it out or we may be the same

yeah everything was put back together correctly, i just keep seeing pics of others on DF's and they looked dumped, but mine clearly does not.

Hey baked, best way to measure is from the ground to the center of your fender on nice level flat ground to be 100% back on, ill check later forsure and tell you mine.

Uh negative man, measuring from the hub center accounts for inaccuracies in the measurement due to tire differences, etc.

The hub center will be in the same position (in theory) on all cars with the same springs regardless of tire/wheel size.

Anyways, thanks for your help man, if you could please measure the same way I did that would be awesome.
