Sweet deal that you got them for free!

I don't have any pictures, but I can assure you a search will bring them up in google.

Oh, and I remember a buddy of mine who has them say that he hates how the front is a lot higher than the rear.

I would post pics of my car but I am using the koni yellow shocks which give me a bit lower stance. On non-adjustable shocks, the front will appear to sit a bit higher than the rear. This is due to a level drop in height on all four corners of the vehicle. Furthermore, the wheel well diameter is larger in the front than in the rear. This intensifies this illusion. If you're looking to keep the stock shocks and use lowering springs, may I recommend selling the Eibach springs and buying the H&R springs.

100$ for a set of EIBACH pro-kit springs. Anyone think that's a good deal also will the blow the struts quick? I'm building a stereo system so I don't have the funds for a coilover set-up right now.

I have never seen an eibach TL that looks as low as chapu08 's. The only way that I have seen where eibachs look good, is if you also buy the Koni struts with the adjustible perch. This can make the front end lower.. or the rear too for that matter. Because they are adjustible. My car has the aspec springs and I am ok with its stance.

Overall tire diameter is larger making it look lower. These cars use shocks fyi.

shocks then. but i know tire diam can skew the view. But look at his pic. It's much lower in front than most eibach setups. Usually the front is higher than that. I think he did something to it. haha like the little perch thingy.

So in other words, its a misrepresentation of the eibachs springs. And I agree with the other guys on here who said they hated the eibachs. Plus I just viewed to other recent posts where people are saying the front is too high. same issue

^ Correct, KYB aren't adjustable. About the sagging effect, maybe is right, in my case never noticed a big difference:

For now I stay with the current setup, if someday move to the coilover world, then I could become an "Eibach hater". OP, good luck with your decision.

I have never seen eibachs with that aspect. Being the front so low in relation to the rear without modification. But whatever. I still wouldn't advise ppl to buy them. I think there are 2 other posts in the wheels and tires section right now, like in the first 2 or 3 pages where ppl are complaining about the front end being so high and the rear really low. But again, don't take my word for it. I'd snicker if I see another complaint about eibachs with all the various posts over the years.
