Just put in Eibach springs....it didn't lower my car at all!!! Is there a settling period? I even
 
took it for a vigorous test drive and still jacked up in the air.

I'm remembering billfga's as being lower immediately.
 
And I helped him do them.

Paging billfga!

I'm assuming that he got the Pro Kits as well since the race springs arent available to D2s.

Mine was lowered right away.
 
Do the springs have the Eibach stamp on them?

ex-a8drifter 02-27-2005 06:20 PM

They were printed on the springs and came directly from Eibach.

Mine settled down right away,
 
especially noticible was the drop at the back where the fender gap got much smaller...something up with your shocks ?

I once had an installer put the rear spring purches on upside down, which screwed things up.
 
Are you sure the install was done correctly?

Is there any way to screw up the install (upside down spring perches front and rear?)

Might the springs otherwise have been seated wrong?

Mine dropped as well
 
Also swapped over to Bilsteins. Initially, the rear dropped abpot 3/4" more than the front. After about 750 mi. the difference is less- or I've just gotten used to it. Car rides and handles like a dream.

Lowered by about 1 1/4" if I remember correctly.

About how high was your fronts compared to stock after the install?
