Eibach Problem

I just got done installing the Eibach Pro Kit. The height looks exactly the same as stock height. I took it for a little drive and it still looks the same, im woundering if i installed them wrong or something. On the springs in the rear they are closely coiled on one side then they get wider at the other side. (hope that makes sence) Wich side goes where (bottom/Top) ? Could this be the problem. before install i compared them to my stock ones and they looked to be the same height but like i siad the Eibachs have more coil on one side then the other? Please help..... Part# on Box 6365.140

Really, same height? Thats very odd. It should have dropped it 1.1" in the front and 1.0" in the rear. Should see a HUGE difference.

Something is definitely wrong. I got the prokit on my car and I saw the drop as soon as the car came off the rack. Call Eibach for support tomorrow and tell him what you did and they can tell you if you did something wrong.

im sure your springs are seated correctly to the mounts, but double check if the are.

that's very odd... you should immediately see a nice 1" drop and then settle for another 1/2"

You should notice at least a little change, but it does take a couple of weeks for the drop to take full effect.

I had 350Z H-Techs installed and the drop is suppose to only be 3/4" F, and 1/2" R and I noticed a difference right away. Your springs should give you a bigger drop and you should see a dramatic change from stock right away. It may take a few days or a week to settle and be broken in but that's for fraction of an inch. It's not going to settle a full inch or something.

I have the Pro kit and I am very happy with the drop. It took weeks to drop to where it is now. The camber is noticeable and the dealer mensionned that it is out of whack on the last alignment, so I have a camber kit on the way. It will be installed in 3 weeks.

Keep in mind an inch is noticable ... but not that dramatic. I had a customer say the same thing when we did a set on a G35. Give it some time.
