Before & After (koni/Pro-kit)

The front Koni inserts came in on Friday, and the shop installed them Saturday with the Eibach Pro-Kit. Or rather the shop didn't actually know how to do it, so they had to pay (way more than they quoted me) another shop to do it. HAHA I warned them, and even brought in the DIY from here to show them how complex it is. So they ended up losing quite a bit of money on the job.
Anyway, here is the before and the after.

It drives wonderfully and Neuspeed front strut will be in today!

Tax time rocks!

The left one is before, right after.

I should have shined the tires before pic, but it's winter and I'm just trying to
stay ahead of the road salt and winter guck.

Yea, the Pro-Kit doesn't really lower the car much but if you still want to have the stock ride quality, the Pro-Kit is the best for it.

did you have to get a camber kit?

I think it'll get lower as time goes by

I got the prokit and my car drop about a 1/2 in. at first and by the 4th week i'm down to almost 1.4 drop all around and my camber is going pretty negative. I had to order a rear camber kit. Really didn't expect it from the prokit.........

I did not get a camber kit. However, Les Schwab is where I got the alignment, and they told me it is guaranteed for the life of the vehicle. So if it does settle they said just bring it back in.
