ASPEC drop issue
Guys,
I recently lowered my car on just the ASPEC springs, got em off a member. The rear sits lower than the front and the front really doesn't look like it lowered at all? I know I put the springs in correctly, the car rides and handles good, but it looks a lil funky. Has anyone else had this problem??? Anyway to resolve it??

Yea I believe it was a AT, the guys said it wouldn't be a problem when I bought them, but it is now...the rear looks good, can I order 2 springs for the front from somewhere to fix the issue??

AT springs on a 6MT will not work. They are meant for a car that is 150# heavier on the front end. Even with the correct kit a lot of people complain the rear sags slightly. I used the 6MT kit on my AT and it works perfect.
You need to get the right kit. Those springs are not going to settle. Your other option is to bolt 150# of lead on the front bumper.

Yup. He is correct. I have the same setup on my auto TL-S.

They have been installed for a little over a month now. The car drives fine, the rake of the car doesn't look right cuse it sits higher in the front then in the rear slightly. Does anyone know if you can just buy the 6MT springs?? Or should I just go with a pair of the comptech springs?? Ahh this suxs I really don't want to rip out the rear springs again, that suckeddddddd

The rears are exactly the same so you could buy the 6MT kit, swap out the fronts, and then sell what you have left on eBay.

What if you look for a Comptech set and just install the front springs. Comptech are cheap!

springs
Don't you think that would be a bad idea to put just comptech springs in the front and aspec ones in the rear?? They are two different vendors and spring rates? It would prob give it a good rake though! Any suggestions?

Just spend the money for springs? I have the A spec on my tl (6mt) and it sits a lil high but not excessive. you could find another 2 front or just buy a whole set of lowering springs and mount them on the aspec shocks.
