there is a 1 finger gap in the rear and a 3 to 4 finger gap in the front

That's what mine looked like. Ended up selling after a few months to replace with a Pro-Kit/SPD Coilovers.

Here's a thread on it: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57102

BOOO not what I wanted to hear...

LOL

I'm planning on putting them in tomorrow evening or Friday. I'm picking up an impact wrench first, guess I'll wait and see how they feel. I can always go the pro kit way if this is too rough....

I don't find them to be thst rough. Don't get me wrong, it is stiffer, but not bad.

Ok here is a good way of putting it. Does the person of interest think the car rides stiff or hard (Whatever that means to them) with stock springs? If yes...then that's it.

To US, they may not be rough. We are the ones DRIVING the car. It is different for non car people.

Any update on this? I ordered mine yesterday and now I'm reading about all these issues. Hopefully everything will work out.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but for those who have had an alignment does with these springs, what are your camber settings? and do you have/need a LCA?

You will need rear LCA's with Sportlines.

Thank you for your quick response.

Did anyone with this set up dealt with having trouble going over speed bumps or drive ways?
