Is something wrong here?

I just got my eibach pro kit installed today with the eibach pro damper kit...

However it seems like the front sits higher than the back....I know the eibach's website says 2.10 in front and 1.6 in the back... very much confused here.

2003 acura tl type s. I got it done at kauffman tires..got the alignment and everything...Please help folks...is this how its suppose to look....????

yes, unfortunately, this is how all lowering springs sit. the front wheel gap is always more than the rear. i had the same problem with my Eibach pro kit. although it does get a little better when the springs settle.

only way to fix it is to get coilovers.

True most i've seen do sit with the back lower, including mine, but damn. It looks like he has 3 people in the back seat on a stock suspension.

I've seen folks even drop with this kit but I a, hoping this will settle in. Sheesh...

The only reason why I didn't get coilovers is cuz I am a district manager and I drive a lot and I can't pull up in a meeting and or meet with my boss slammed.....

hm... this was mine back when i was on pro kit.






I don't think it's even possible to put the rear springs on the front. They wouldn't fit right.

there's no preload that you could adjust. what shocks are you using? maybe the rears are blown?

also, i dont remember if i felt a difference lol. it's been a while since i had that setup
