Eibach & KYB

I've had my Eibach Pro-Kit and KYB AGX installed for about a month now. The rear drop looks fine, but the front looks factory...it looks like nothing changed up front! I still have my stock 16" wheels and was wondering if 17's or 18's would fill the gap better.

Anybody else have this problem? I think it's a like a "four finger" gap still (about 3-5 inches). What does everyone else's drop look like with factory wheels?

I deleted all of my pics with the stock wheels!

I do recall that there was about 2 1/2 to 3 fingers in the front with the OEM wheels and the Pro-Kit.

Right now it's around 2 to 2 1/2 with my 18s.

I cut the hell out of my bump stops... With the stock struts and stock wheels w/ 55's, i only have 1.5 fingers in front and 2ish in the back... Maybe i don't know the correct way to measure then if you got 3-5 inches with a 1.5 drop...

Puttin on the new struts tomorrow... WOOHOO!

ok, maybe I was exaggerating...it's probably more like 2.5-3.5 inches. I just think it looks a little wierd because the back seems lower than the front. I'm not sure if it's because I got two amps and a single 10" sub in the back. The box is not that big or heavy to make the back sag like that.

What's trimming the bump stops have to do with anything? The shorter you trim them, the more travel the strut will have when it compresses all the way. The struts aren't riding up on the bump stops the whole time!

Anyway...do people with Neuspeed sports have this problem?

Damn that drop is definitely not low enough for me...must be a nicer ride though for sure I'm hoping that the Neuspeed Sports will be fine on the OEM rims for a while until I throw 18"s on there

Yeah that pic looks kinda what mine looks like. I guess that's just the way it looks. Do the Neuspeed Sports fill the gap better.

Damn, these Eibach's suck! Why didn't they make the drop more even?

The Pro-kits only drop the car about 1.2-1.3 in on the 2.3 CL

Pro-kits will drop 3.0's about 1.4-1.5in

You guys with the 2.3 need to go out and buy the Sportsline.
