Eibach pro kit........Help

aight.......so i got the eibach prokit put on last sunday.....my car still does not look like it has dropped at all.... the rear looks like it has a little but the front still looks like it has the same large wheel gap....do the springs need more time to settle in...im gonna post some pics tomorrow. Is it possible that the springs could have been installed the wrong way

Dude you should notice the drop. I have the Eibach Pro-kits also. I have a two finger gap at the most all around. PM me I will take pics and try and e-mail them to you.

Did you install them yourself? A prokit drop will be noticeable.

That's from a Eibach pro-kit drop? Really? I hope the ones you got installed were for the TL. I've seen a much more aggressive drop with a Pro-kit. Weird. Maybe they'll settle a lot more in the next couple of weeks. Don't bother now ... it'll settle.

FWIW, I've seen pro-kits drop a TL about an inch more around than yours ... weird.

It still looks like the stock ride height to me. I just got the H&R Sport's with an advertised drop of 1.75" in front and 1.5" in the rear. My drop is very noticeable in the pics I took, and they were only taken two days after install.

There's definitely something wrong there. Eibach is a more aggressive drop than the H&R Sport, and that looks more like an H&R OE Sport drop.

How reputable is the shop? They might have conned you. Jack up the car, take off the wheel, and make sure it's got the right springs.

Sorry to say but that does not look like it is lowered. My guy friend has the same springs and his looks lowered about 1.5 to 1.7 inches front and 1.25 rear. YOu sure they put the lowering springs in your car???
