Eibach Pro-Kit

So I FINALLY got a replacement strut in for the OEM strut (front pass.) which had a cross-threaded stud- had to cut the stock nut off, and managed to burn the crap out of my hand with molten metal- SO much fun

Anyway, got the springs all in (VERY easy, after I got a decent front pass. strut), and I took the car for a test drive. At 70 MPH on I-95, steers dead straight, so I'm thinking I might survive without an alignment, but we'll see.

I have to say, as always, another quality Eibach product. The ride is only slightly harsher than stock going down the road, and is noticably rougher over speed bumps. More to come as I keep driving, but so far, so good.

Also, they got the wifey's seal of approval, so I'm not getting couched tonight YAAY! Mark W.

Negative- sold the springs to another forum member. They were simply too low for the driveway at our place here in NY. It looked good, but wasn't worth the amount of damage my wife did to the bumper Mark W.

just get it checked, most shops would check it for free, because I would change springs all the time on my old cars, and it always driver straight and it SEEMS ok, but the toes and camber would be way off would burn up those tires so fast...
