Eibachs

Is it me, or is the drop pretty aggresive on these springs? The front seems lower than the back. Rides pretty nice though. I'll post pics soon. Btw, think after installing these, I might be getting that windshield popping noise.....

No alignment yet. Trying to wait until it settles. Hoping it gets within specs.

The avg drop #'s are exactly that, and avg. Every time I've used their springs the car's been lower than advertised.

i agree, the front did drop a bit more, but i think it looks perfect compared to the back, an even gap all around whereas it was a lot higher in the front than the back when stock, and they will get into specs, just give it a week or so, i took my car back to the dealership where i had my eibachs installed and they were able to put it back to specs without any issues

Got the alignment results. I did it with Sears since they guarantee it for 6 months. I'll go in a month and see if they can adjust it more, or if it changes at all.


LF Camber - Before and After = -1.6
RF Camber - Before and After = -1.7
LR Camber - Before and After = -2.0
RR Camber - Before and After = -1.8

LF Caster - Before and After = 5.2
RF Caster - Before and After = 5.5

LF Toe - Before / After = -0.16 / 0.03
RF Toe - Before / After = 0.09 / 0.06
LR Toe - Before / After = 0.15 / 0.13
RR Toe - Before / After = 0.11 / 0.12


Is this acceptable? Or should I be looking into camber kits? Please tell me that this is ok? Want to save that money for camber kits on for other stuff. What negative affects, if any, will I see with these numbers?

Same here with the front dropping lower..... my front is exactly a 2 finger gap whereas the rear is easily 3. I wish the the back were 2 fingers like the front.

Positve rake babe! That's what I love about the Eibachs. Really has the best stance of all the springs. Also the car looks completely lowered but without the slam issues.
