I just got done installing this setup and it is LOW. I scrape on everything, it lowered the car almost 2 inches. I now have a squeaking and creak noise that comes from the front suspension. Has anybody had this issue and how do you fix it?

That sucks!! I am getting ready to lower mine, and that is exactly what I was worried about!!

You fix the scraping by going w/ a decent set of springs.

Thanks it looks awesome the only thing i have scraping is my Driveshaft look so if you have the stock crossmember there you should be ok. I just wish i could get rid of that squeaking noise, it handles and takes the bumps very well.

Looking at your sig, your car is a '98...10 years old. Your control arm bushings, both front and rear, especially the uppers in front, have been rotating in a certain orientation for 10 years. Unless you loosened ALL of the nuts and bolts that they pivot on, and lubed them really good, then put it all back together, those bolts/bushings are now trying to get themselves familiar with a new home, so to speak, since the lowering springs changed where everything NOW has rotated to....

Good lord I did not realize that so many people hated the Eibachs.

Probably b/c they are cheap and people seem to be suckers for cheap crap!

Mine have been on the car since February of 1996. So far, so good!!

What shocks/struts are you using?

I originally ran with the OE DeCarbons, cause after all, they're brand new, right?? (I installed the Eibachs when the car was only a couple of months old) They were, in fact, horrible, but I lived with them for a while until the budget allowed a change.

I then put on a set of the "SLP Bilsteins" that SLP was selling back in 2000. I say that because from what people have said here, there may have been a couple versions of them.

Nonetheless, I've been fairly happy with them, but they now have around 35,000 miles on them, and I'm thinking that maybe they're getting a little "soft".
