I wanted to talk to my spring manufacturer (NEUSPEED) about my little rear sag nightmare. I think the rear has dropped 4". So I need to know stock numbers to be sure. 2 questions:

1. Stock clearance from wheel hub to fender? What is the number here guys? I think it's 15.5" stock but I never had a stock EP.

2. Bumper-stop. If this was not on the rear damper and I know its about 2" long, would it cause this problem..effectively is the car sitting on this bump-stop as it rides around or only hits it when and if it bottoms out?

Neuspeed sport springs (1.5" drop)
Tokico D-Specs dampers
7k miles / 1 1/2 yrs old each

for no. 1 : what year ep do you have...as far as i have noticed, the 02-02 looks much higher stock than the 04-05 EP's.

dont know about the numbers you want, but I also had my nuespeeds sag a TON in the rear, one of them even broke in 2 places

The car is an 02.
sorry my camera is busted or I'd post a pic.
as for what it looks like, looks as if the fender is sitting on the tire in the rear and the front is 2 inches higher.

no I am on Tokico D-Specs and Neuspeed Sport springs I bought at the same time about 1 1/2 yrs ago and have gone only about 7k miles.

Rear is set at 3 from a full stiff setting (out of 7)
Front at 4.

My car looks about 1 inch lower in the front and 3-4 inches lower in the back than V1c10us's black ep.

I think I'm going to have to buy a camera :/
