Default Disappointing results...

Well today as you all know was the start of my suspention mods for my car. I just finished the rears and I droped the car, and to my Amazment the ride height did not change, doesnt look lower might even raised a bit I donno.

I havnt done the fronts yet ill do those tomarrow morning. Oh well I guess Im hoping for at least a ride difference.
Is there somthing I could of done wrong? Position the springs wrong? Alow for break in time? Will it adjust when I install the fronts?

BTW I have the Eibach Sport line Pro kit.

And your guys have any tips on doing the fronts? Website?

I have an electronic FSM that I can copy and paste the instructions from for the Removal and Installation of Springs and Shocks for the front. Would you like me to send you that?

Well I figured going from stock to Eibachs Pro Kit would be noticable difference. Ill be happy as long as I get a better ride. Im just a little sad right now, all that work for no results.

Don't forget, new springs will settle a bit.
