JPGC's TW GE8 after Eibach Pro Kit Install
 
4 Attachment(s)
Hey All,
Just got my Eibach Pro Kit installed last night and despite the mild drop, I am inpressed on the quality of these springs as well as the drop. Eibach says that it is a 1.2" front and 1.4" rear drop but i looks slightly more than that to me, though I didn't take any before and after measurements. My bad, lol. This install was much easier than I expected, just don't let the axle pop out in the front and disconnect all the ABS lines from their clips before removing bolts. Here are the pictures:

The drop certainly looks more than 1.2" front and 1.4" back. Almost looks like it was dropped by DF210 springs. Your car looks great JPGC.

I know the ride on the Eibach Pro-Kits is very good as I have done 3 of our cars with Pro-Kits.

Do you mind posting a larger side picture so we can clearly see the wheel to fender clearance. TIA.

Nice car. The drop looks good. Have you driven it around yet? How's the ride comfort?

Also interested in the ride comfort and the cost if you don't mind me asking.

siiiiiick! i love it! im kinda worried cuz ur ride looks low already i just ordered the eibach sportlines

JPGC Apr 29, 2009 10:36 PM

Lol, the Sportlines are gonna be low... I have been driving it with these eibach springs for 5 days now and I really like them. The car is noticably stiffer (rough estimate 20-25%). I handles MUCH better. It feels like a go-cart, kind of. I only took 1/2 inch off the bumpstop up front and none off the rear and I haven't rubbed yet. The car doesn't shimmy at higher speeds on the interstate anymore either. All in all, I am very happy with my choice of the eibachs.

Oh yeah, they were $217 shipped from Tirerack. The fitment on my car during the install was perfect as well.
