Default Added the Espelir Springs ASD'S

Hey....i just added the espelir ASD's to my car....it's a very nice drop... i recommend it.

before

after

then a car wash


I think it sits very well.... i love the springs

i believe the drop was 1.5 in the front and 1.75 in the back


did absolutely nothing to it but paint the cover.... i was bored

and my system... it hits but i want the trunk space...think bout flushing it into the walls where the gas tank is...what do you guys think?

thinking about getting another headunit later too...



now for some rims

looks great man! you do need some wheels to fill the space but good start! how much was the kit? and did you install it yourself? by the way..... how much would a shop charge you to do an install?

i purchased the springs from another CL member used, for about 180 shipped.... i found these springs for 250 brand new shipped....ah....just checked the price again for ya... looks like they bumped it up to 265 http://www.hopupracing.com/esasdsplescf.html . Yeah i installed it myself.... had to go up to boston to do it during the little family gathering..... my uncle has a shop up there. WITHOUT THE RIGHT TOOLS DON'T TRY AND DO IT YOURSELF AT HOME. shops usually charge i wanna say 200 to change your springs

Store called soundwaves... which are supposed to be 13th best in the country.... i don't recommend them... this headunit was supposed to be flushed and it isn't. they talked alot of smack saying yeah we'll make it look real good for ya... flushed and everything. because sc's don't have already made housings we're also going to have to custom build you one because of the little gap at the bottom..... all they did was use a regular housing like a honda's or something and put a little plastic piece going across the bottom.... I could've done that myself... they were lucky i needed to by pass my factory amp because my factory amp was drowned in water because of a clogg one rainy day

Yup! These are some nice springs. I'd recommend these to anyone who owns a SC. Glad you like the drop

looks nice, but with the body kit and no adjustability of height, you will soon go to realize how difficult life gets and how you regret not getting coilovers just a thought, that is definetly how i feel!

Damn, that Abflug kit looks awesome. I think that is hands down the best kit for the 96 and older SCs. I like the no grill look.
