Anybody got pics of TL-S with Eibach ProKit?

I'm looking for pics of a TL-S with the Eibach Pro Kit, I would like to see the amount of drop and if it is an even drop all around (no rear sag or anything). Thanks!

ah, you've done your homework already

eibachs or comptech (same thing) usually always leave a rear sag... most other brands offer a 1.6F/1.5R drop or something of the sort, because the even 1.0" will usually leave your car like that

you can get koni adjustable shocks, and lower the front perch just a tad, to eliminate the "rear-sag" appeal

Yeah I had the Eibachs on my Mazda before I got coilovers, the rear sagged quite a bit. I actually just did a better search and found some pics of the Eibachs and Comptechs... the pics I looked at seemed like the drop was pretty even all around. Is this usually not the case with these springs on this car?

i've noticed the sag..... i bought the pro-kit, but sold it before i installed it, went with the coilovers again. i like having the abiltiy to adjust the height perfectly... eibach + konis $ = coilover $

tein just went up in price today though.. like 15%

I will have today....they're getting installed now.

As far as sag, the TL-S has a slight front rake to begin with so the car will sit level...not lower in the rear. If you want to drop and retain that rake, get a set of H&R Sports. I had wanted a set but they are about 1/2" lower than the Pro-Kits which is why I didn't get them....I really wanted them though. Although I didn't want my car to be a snowplow in the winter....if you don't get snow where you are, then the H&Rs would be the ticket!

Do a search, Bearcat has the H&Rs and posted a comprehensive review on them with pix of his WDP.
