Re: Got my pro kit on order Well, my Pro-kit was installed about two weeks ago and all I can say is that a 1.2 inch drop in the back is as conservative as Rush Limbaugh. The front dropped a legitimate 1.5 inches, but the back dropped a shade more than 2.5 inches. I had to take off my 18x10 wheels and put on the stock wheels and tires because the rubbing was so bad. I called Eibach and I do have the right kit part number and the right rear spring part number and I had my installer talk to their tech and confirm that the springs are installed correctly. Even Eibach is not exactly sure on what has happened here. They should be sending a new set to me fairly soon at their expense and I will try them. If that doesn't work then the stockers have to go back on for now. All I can say is Good Luck! I hope your kit works out better than mine.

Re: Got my pro kit on order ya thats one thing im worried abou... i sure hope it the same drope all the way around.. and not to much.. but i guess the only was to fine out is to just wait and see what there like on the car.. and is it true that u gota break in new springs? that they eventaully lower a little bit more when they settle?
Re: Got my pro kit on order All springs will settle some, but it is usually quite minimal. You will only see major settling after many many years or many many miles. I am much less worried about settling than I am about the spring starting out more than an inch lower than what it is advertised. I bought the Pro-kit and not the sportlines because I wanted only a small drop, but my car now sits lower than almost all of the cars I have seen with Sportline springs. Go figure!
