Eibach pro kit question

Most people here say that the pro kit makes the Tl look like its sagging in the rear. My question is, if I raise it about a 1/4 inch, would it look better or would that be too much or little?

they were talking about eibach springs.... i dont see how you gonna adjust the height there, unless you have adjustable shocks such as koni's or maybe a coilover setup from eibach. then the sagging should not be an issue..

I was gonna make some 1/4 inch spacers to go in between the top mount and the body.

Height

I just installed the same kit on my 07 Type-S this past weekend. I agree with you regarding the lower look at the rear, but what is more interesting is that if you measure the height at the undercarriage the car sits about a 1/4 of an inch lower at the front than at the rear (mine is approximately 6 1/2" front and 6 3/4" at the rear. Most importantly though is that I now hear a slapping noise coming from the rear suspension. Aside from that I truly love the new ride quality as it is quieter, smother, responsive and even sportier. Still, I'm interested in knowing how your car sounds/behaves after the installation.

Thanks
