Eibach Springs

I just bought and had my local shop install some Eibach Sportline Springs 1.6" drop. Now my question is the FRONT seems way to low compared to the back, about and 1" or more of a difference, is this normal because of the engine? Or did they lower it wrong. To my understanding, it is supposed to be lowered the same all the way around. Thanx for the help guys. Ohh yeah, I also bought some TOYO Proxes T1-S Ultra Performance Tires, They ARE SWEET

*Note, company is affiliated with NOPI so they can sell parts REALLY cheap.

you just got em put on...they need to settle....

in a couple weeks it should look right....i have sportlines too but the front is a little lower...not too noticeable, you kinda have to expect it tho since the front has to carry the weight of the eingine

no worries, it will work out

The back of our cars sit a little a higher in the back than the front stock, so I would assume if you dropped the car the same height in front and back that the back will still be just a bit higher.

Thanx Guys, now what else should I do to make the ride more stiff and comfortable. What type of shocks, dampers, struts should I get? Too many to choose from. Besides those that I mentioned anything else you think I should get to complete the whole LOWERING process.
