Rear Drop or Slammed
Its looking a one tough bit*h but while crossing each speed breaker it was a sort of heart attack for me

i think they sold u the slammed set of springs that were on immad bhai's es.....lovely drop..i am a slammed fan..

Well a lowered and perfect stance is, face down to ground, n back lil up.
There isnt any slammed springs, too much soft springs will cause unstable drive, bummpy, and they could broke too.

right ..
i will contact them in the morning and will ask for a refund or exchange.. otherwise i'll uninstall them but will keep em up for upcoming car show
it is my very first experience on dropping a ride and believe me it was heart pounding if i ignore my car's look

First of all, what brand are these springs?
I doubt they're Teins. Looking at that rear end, I'm thinking they're custom fabricated springs but only the seller can verify the reason for this stance.
If these get refunded, I suggest you go for Coilovers since lowering springs will blow your stock struts in a matter of weeks or months, you'll end up replacing struts and at the end of the day, the amount of money you'l be spending would be more than the price of coilovers you can get right now

There is a group in lahore named as "Over reV" maybe you know them or what.. it was installed in their white ES1 and then they were placed at Upgrade Motor Sports Qadaffi Stadium Lahore.. I sourced them through facebook and bought them today!

these were in Immads Es ... white ...... well ... if u having a daily runner car then its not fair for this car . u need to put on coilovers (adjustable) to bring this look whenever ur want and can even bring it up to its normal position when u dont want it ... these kinda drops r for weekend cars or where u dont have to deal with those speed breakers ... else if ur satisfied with such drop then its ok ... else find some other lowering springs with a lill more gap in them ...

& welcome to the Club

Rear drop is too much. Get coilovers or atleast some stiff springs

if they dont refund then u can raise the rear height using packing . I just came back right now after adding 1" spacers at the rear end of my EF , i have bigger tyres so to avoid rubbing i had to raise the rear end cuz one person at the back seat lowered the car more cuz i used rsr springs that are pretty soft and had results similar to urs
keep in mind i have KONI coilovers but u have stock shocks , but i bet it will solve the issue within 1k

Looking awesome! But it will kiss every speedbreaker.

Springs returned to Upgraded Motor Sports .. now back to stock height, feeling so much comfortable as compared to the previous massive drop!

drop was a bit too much mate...however if it was dropped on both front and back it would have looked much different !!

[shaheryar.khokhar]

^^Front drop was ok but rear was too much almost 3inchs of drop, it was a total reverse rake.
