hey whats up everybody im new so i thought i would formally introduce myself....i know enuf about cars and after market parts to carry a general conversation but in all dont know all the intricate details......i have one question to anyone who can give some advice .... i am putting and eibach pro kit on my car how much of a drop will it give me???? will i need a camber kit so wheels dont get all inverted???? and will i need to replace my shocks/struts or will i be ok for a while!!!!!!! thanks

 

Welcome.

On the 3.0CL, you can expect about a 1.5" drop.

Most people don't need a camber kit with the Pro-Kit springs, however, mine does.

Your stock struts will be ok, but why not replace them at the same time you swap springs? It won't cost you any extra labor (or time if you're doing the install yourself). I chose KYB AGX adjustable struts.

Good luck!

 

It will drop the car around 1.5 settled. New shocks are a must with any new spring other than aftermarket. You will be ok for a while, but eventually they will wear out and blow. Usually you won't need a camber kit unless you have a 3.0.

 

well i have 2.3 so i dont have to worry about the camber kit im assuming ... also when should i change my struts i have 102,000 km's someone has told me i should be fine till 150k at least is this accuate!!!!!

 

Well, you can always put the springs in and see how it rides. If the ride is good, then you wont need shocks till they blow.

 

As soon as you put on aftermarket springs, you will expodentially decrease the life of your struts. Mine blew in one week (granted, I trimmed the bump stops too short)!

 

i dropped my car 1.5 in and within a week i blew a strut.
so...........and i got 104k.
