Default RE: Whats wrong with this picture?

I re checked all my work, and Eibach customer support claims their springs require "absolutley 100% no need to settle in"
the front lowered 1.5 right away.
i'll drive them for a week or so before i attempt to find a company that will sell me just the rears.
Iftheres anyone that wouldn't mind..can someone check the rear gap between the tire and the fender?

I promise, they do need time to settle. The front end of the car has a lot more sprung weight, so they will show most of the drop right away. But since you asked, my fender well gap is 2" from the top of the tire to the outer edge of the fender.

Eibach is prolly right about no settle time, but what might need settling is the shocks at the new ride height. Just drive around for a while and see what happens before you go bananas.

Look at Adam03GT and Tbird, stuff looks tizzite with the Pros!

Yes, its the Pro-kit and its the same 2" gap all the way around. My front tires are a little shorter than my rears, so it evens out the gap. Front tires are 25.3" tall and the rears are 26.1" tall.

Eibach is full of crap. a spring is a spring, they take some time. the rears don't have nearly the same weight on them so it will take longer, i know my ford springs took longer in the rear. patience is a virtue.
