eibach sportlines just installed

yah i just got my eibach sportlines installed, it looks great and i have gotten quite a few complements. i kinda want more of a drop, so i was just wondering how much more i can expect them to drop once they settle in over the next few weeks. yah i realize im on stock shocks so i dont want too much of a drop, im not that much of a newb. thanks

My Sportlines didnt really settle much either, I think the only thing that settled was the rubber spring isolators on top of the springs. When speaking to Eibach, they told me that the springs dont really settle much if any. Dunno.. I guess dont expect it to drop much more.

usually you'll notice it settle the most within the first 3 days. And ya this is the springs settling inside the bushings rather than the springs itself settling. Eibachs just dont drop that much. I wasnt happy when i got my neuspeed sports either. But with our stock suspension, thats the lowest i recommend. 2.25" drop is a little too low for full length shocks.

yea after a week or so if you look at your car on each side you will noticed that some parts are lower than others, mine looks that way. I want lower, but my exhaust already has about 6'' of clearance before it smashes the ground.

The left side is heavier then the right side, so it'll sit lower on the left. This is normal.

Just get one...it's $130 for the kit (roughly), and $80 for an alignment...or you COULD spend $300-$400 EVERY YEAR on tires...it's up to you. IMO

you spend $80 for a alignment, thats alot. I paid $89.95 for a lifetime alignment, and I can go back as many times as I want, whenever I want for a alignment and only pay $3.01 for supplies. Normally, they dont do this with people who drop there cars, but since I do alot of business with them, they hook me up.
