Default KYB/Neuspeed set-up pics/questions

Well, finally, after a long drawn out shock problem, it's over. I got my new one overnighted last week and put everything on on Saturday. So far, I ****ING LOVE IT! Only complaints, I forgot to cut my bumpstops (doing that tomorrow) so it's squeaky as hell. The second, the front gap is 3 finger and the rear gap is 2 finger. I can notice it and so can a few other people.

So, who else has this set-up and had the same problem, or did you? Very confused. And gimme some comments. I washed/waxed my car before pics, it's pretty!

I've got the same setup and like you, I love it. The slightly larger gap up front irritates me sometimes too, but in certain shots and angles, you can't tell. Only thing you can really do is get coilovers if it bothers you that much.

Thanks, but how big is your front gap? I noticed that aux's gap is even, or slightly lower up front. I PM'd him, I was confused.

I haven't measured it, but it's noticeable. I'll go out and measure it in a few minutes.

Here's a pic of aux's car. That's what mine should look like right? Maybe after I cut the bumpstops? Ionno, I'm very impatient.

Patience is a virtue. Drop looks nice, will look nicer when the bumpstops are cut too.

correct me if im wrong, but bumpstops don't affect how the car sits, they just affect the travel of the shock. if the bumpstop is cut, the travel is increased by the amount the bumpstop was cut. cutting it won't make ur car any lower.

teamlegacy-I have a two finger gap out back, 3 finger up front. Keep in mind I have a sedan and about 60lbs of stereo equipment in my trunk
