I bought this car recently and then ordered the eibach pro lowering springs. I put them on and also replaced the front shocks. Well I like the 1.5 drop it gave it. And it seems to ride alright. But Im not happy with how the front of the car is sitting. It almost looks like the front is sitting slightly higher than the rear.And thats pissing me off lol.
Anyone else had this problem?
What can I do to make the front of the car come down more?
Will I have to replace the front tie rods to clear the sway bar if I drop it down more?
Is there a kit that I can buy that is just for the front lowering so that I dont have to buy a whole new kit again?

Comparison of before and after shots. it dosent look it in this shot but i looks like its pointed up in the front most times.

I had this with my Trans Am...I ended up buying some rear spring spacers off of eBay. They raised my back end back up to stock height and gave me that old muscle car look...aka: badass look.

I could just order those air ride bags to put inside my rear springs to raise it up a little but not all the way back to stock.. But Id like to keep that where it is and lower the front down a bit more perhaps.

Maybe replace the rear shocks?

I'd suggest browsing the Suspension section of the forums or contacting one of the sponsors like UMI.

Different shocks have different perch heights. I had that problem but when i switched from stock shocks to KYB gas adjustable, it dropped my front enough to make it a little lower than the back and i got the look i wanted. I went to the parts store with my stock shock. I asked to see the different shocks for my car and we compared them all, within my speculations of course. In the end, the KYB had the lowest perch and if it was too much, unlike others, the perch wasnt welded in so i could adjust it. Further more, the shock itself was adjustable. In the end i was happy with my stance but i also had zo6 staggard rims. You may just want to look for an adjustable shock like the QA1. heres my car with my final stance, in its last days of life!

i kept the stockers in the back. i heard the eibachs leave you with that saggy look, thats why i kept the stock rears.

do you have the isolators in the rear still or the heater hose mod?

and you could always just keep less than 1/2 tank of gas at all times that should bring up the rear a tad hahah.

i bought slp eibach springs and ended up buying lower front springs for fear of the front sitting higher than the rear.

My prokit did the same thing.

I took it off an replaced it with a ground control coil-over kit from WS6store.com.

I sold the pro-kit to a member with a Camaro and it looked great on his car.

That's just how the Trans-Am sits with a pro-kit. I didn't like it either.

I guess it's just me but...I think your cars sits fine. Great color too!

UsualSuspect

I agree.

From that pic the OP's car looks like it sits fine.

I have the Pro kit and I think it looks ok but Iwould like the rear about an inch higher.

Anybody make any spacers??

BTW...my car can be seen lowered in the FQuick link below.
