lowering springs

[Slowsupratt]

Oh I am confussed, I just installed the front Eibach Springs and lowering caps and it only lowered the front approx half an inch. How can you possibly screw up an install like this? Is there something I should be looking for?

Just curious, how much did you pay for the springs, and how much for labor?

It will settle a bit with use.....
They do two types of Eibach kits ????

 

[Slowsupratt]

They might settle half an inch, but the eibachs should lower it an inch and the spring caps 5/8th of an inch.

I paid $250 for the springs $150ish for the caps and I'm doing the install myself.

Did you adjust the rebound on the shocks?

They will settle in some once you get to driving it.

 

[Slowsupratt]

Yes I Did one turn on the fronts and will do half on the rear. It's a street driven car so I figured this would be the best settings. I highly doubt the springs will settle an inch though.

You will be surprised.

I got one inch exactly on my eibachs, 96GTS after I took it out for a drive. Did you compress the spring while tightening the strut bolts? You may want to consider more adjustment on the konis. Also search ballast and or eibach+ballast.

With Eibach springs and caps your car should be pretty low.

Yeah I know, I have seen that picture and mine isn't sitting that low.

Oh, that's one thing I forgot to do. I torqued the nuts on without any load on the shocks/springs. Whats the best way to put load on them while still haveing access to the nuts/bolts to torque them?

Leave the wheel off and put another jack under the a-arm. Just keep an eye on the jack stand.

 

[Slowsupratt]

Ok, will do.
