Dougie, there is no way we installed the springs backwords, they would simple be off, we had close looks at them before installing.

Darrell from Sewell is a great guy, seems to be taking care of everything, the new springs are on their way, and promises to cover labour as well, just what I wanted out of this.
So all is good

Well....interesting to see this thread tonight. I had my L-tuned shocks installed with my intrax springs, and I have the same drop. My rear is tucked with NO gap whatsoever and my front sits on a 2 finger gap. I was wondering if something was wrong so I looked on here for pics and low and behold.......

In the morning I am going to look for the part numbers.

I love how it rides, but I don't think tucked wheels are practical on a daily driver in the city. Plus with the front with a gap and a rear that is slammmed, it looks a little odd.

I haven't installed mine yet, please post photos and part numbers.

Thanks CBA!

Oh...and to add...my Intrax springs are supposed to lower the car 1.5" all around. I was shocked to see my *** on the ground.

And Sewell only shipped two bump-stops. I'm missing two.

I'll hve to give them a ring on Monday. Does anyone have their email address handy?

I just had mine installed and they look great. As of this date, to Darrel except he charged me for touch up paint when he said he wouldn't. I will post some before pics w/ drop and after pics w/ drop & 19's.

Here are pics I took 10 minutes ago. It's pretty bright outside and since my digital cam got stolen, I had to use my Clie to snap pics. Excuse the quality.

another..............This was taken from below....you can see the underside of the trim. It's the only way to see the tread on the top of the tire.
