These latest pics look much better to me than the pics you initially posted. Not sure if it was the angle or what. I'm going to have to see your car in person at some point to decide however, and by then see if you are still happy with them.

Im digging it so far. Washed it today. Firmness feels very close to stock. All I need yet is a front lip and I will be finished with mods.

Any cutting to fit or rubbing at full lock? This might have sold me on these. Looks great.

After a few hundred miles of driving. Nothing negative to report. Car seems more buttoned down and direct, quicker to change direction.

I also think with Michelin 4s you could definitely do 15mm spacers all around. I'm running 12s now.

Looks good…but I vacillate with whether to lower despite the 4x4 height. I need to still break in further before I decide on anything.

So let me start by saying that I didn't purchase these from eas, but I did get then from a reputable place... ok, so now in to my question. Do AST springs get shipped like this? I feel like I got some that got installed and inistalled very quickly. They have slight wear marks and it looks like the black plastic pieces have slight rubbing. At the end of the day the springs are going to get used and it won't be noticeable, but when you expect one thing and you get something different, it's a bit disappointing. My big thing is ghat if these were used, they shouldn't have sold them as brand new.

Thanks in advance.

AST springs always arrive in AST printed boxes. These look like AST, but look used. If your vendor is selling these as new, I'd recommend having a talk with them.

That being said, other than cosmetics - the springs should be perfectly fine to use.

Thanks for the quick response Tom. Yeah they definitely sold it to me as brand new, and that's what disappoints me a out it. I have reached out to the company who sold them to me. Thanks again.

Just got AST springs installed as well as 12mm spacers all around. Big thanks to Lehigh Valley Motors for the install!

Looks and rides great!

So what did you end up paying and how long did the job take? I remember one of your posts getting crazy quotes like me.
