Eibach Pro-kit, 19mm sway bar

1 week ago I had Pro-kits and a 19mm RSX sway installed and I gotta say I am impressed. What a difference. It rides smoother and corners sooooooo flat and no "nose dive" braking [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]. My car seemed to sit much higher in the rear than other Civics I have seen and was pleased to see it came down 1.5" and the front 1.0", but it does seem to be settling just a bit. No camber kit was needed. I have 215/45-17 tires with 38mm offset Mille Miglia's and no rubbing & my driveway is like a paved goatpath better executed in a SUV. I will adding Neuspeed upper and lower front & rear strut bars soon. The lower rear is not out yet though.

Anyway, I take it back to the shop tomorrow to have all the bolts re-torqued. They will do it regularly for free. I was wondering if anyone else had this done as well. If not, could this be part of the "creeking" & squeeking" noise some people report [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] Just a thought.
