Pro-Kit Tricks? I have a Eibach prokit installed on my car now with stock shocks and struts. I like the way the back of the car sits but I wish the front was a little lower. Is there anyway to get the front end lower without cutting the spring and still maitain a decent ride quality?

something I've heard of a few people doing was to suck the car down to the stops with some straps and leave it that way for a few days. Supposedly it works but I can't really recommend it since I've never done it.

Yeah usually it looks ok when you 1st put them on, but then the rear end sags a little after awhile. I finally pulled my rear springs out and pushed some thick trucking industry style stratoflex airline onto the top and bottom coils to raise the *** end up about 1/2". Now it sits pretty level. I don't know how well that'd work on the front ?

My front end dropped 1 3/4 in with the pro kit!!! I can't tell you how to remedy your height issues, but I can tell you that your ride quality will diminish VERY quickly with the OEM Decarbon shock/strut package. I upgraded to the Bilsien SLP's and I am very happy with the ride quality.
