Suspension Put on

So I had a buddy of mine put my springs in today









Compress that fucker





Working on the Rear





The result




Overall a good day. But I noticed something when I came home. The rear right wheel has 1 finger gap while the rear left wheel has a tight 2 finger gap, so its kind of uneven. After doing some searching here, I found that this is normal for our TL's with H&R's?.. wtf.. Im gonna give it some time and hope it settles normally. Anyone have any input on this?

is there a system or anything in your trunk that might cause it to sit a little lower? Looks good to me!

Nope no system. Springs actually settled a bit more since I posted these pics since I been driving alot these past few days.

Phrosttz0- Gotta find one Having a hard time tracking one down, and the Acura here is asking 550 for it.. they can suck my balls. My main goal is gettin my tires, getting a M3 spoiler, and finding a rear lip and im pretty much done.
