SteveV Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Looks great, I also have a black Sport AWD. Trying to figure out which springs to get. How much "finger gap" do you have now front and rear? Also, what do you mean by taking the rubber pad out of the front? Did that lower the front a tad more? Because your car doesn't appear to have the slight rear end squat like I see sometimes in other pictures with Steedas installed (I know the front/rear wheelwell shapes have a visual effect too). Do you scrape anywhere when driving? Edited March 20, 2013 by SteveV 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuntman Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Both front and rear have about 1/4 finger gap. the car is completely level. The rubber pad sits on the top of the spring cradle. it is about an inch thick, I removed it, and the car rides better then it did with the factory sport suspension. I recommend the steeda springs to anyone with a sport. and the car has not rubbed on anything. also about to put 2011 GT500 wheels on it 19x9. i fitted 1 on every corner of the car. looks bad ass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBetty Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Awesome!! Looks fantastic! I'm happy to hear that the ride quality is still great (or better). This convinced me to go with Steeda springs when the time comes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveV Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 1/4 finger, so you can't even fit one finger in there now? That seems like more than a 1.4-inch drop as they advertise? My Sport AWD stock has like a 4-1/2 finger gap. also, without that rubber pad, wouldn't the spring now rub on the metal spring plate and make noises? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuntman Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 there is another rubber piece that sits between the spring and the cradle. doesnt make any noise at all. Steeda advertises 1.6 drop front and rear. I think it dropped it about 2.0 in thefront and 1.8 in the rear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
