I just finished installing the eibach prokit on my X. I did the rears myself, and took out the front shocks and had a shop only install the springs on the shocks, and reinstalled them myself. After letting my car down, it leans to the driver side, and the front doesnt even look like it was dropped. My dumba*s didnt take measurements prior to the drop, so i can't compare numbers, but i can still stick my fist btw. the tire and fender on both sides in the front. I still havent driven the car yet, just pulled it out of the garage, i dont know if that makes a diff. or not. Should i take it back to a shop and have them re-install the fronts? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Something is seriously wacky with that....

Are you sure you have Eibach's on both sides?

If yes, then you need to get someone with experience to check your install.
Either get it towed or get them to come to you.
I wouldn't drive it like that.

 

Yeah something is definitely not right. I will say though that when I first let me car off the stands when I put my springs on last weekend, the car didn't really look dropped. After driving it and a day or two it went down considerably. I do NOT know what the hell is up with one side being higher than the other...

 

One thing I noticed is that the Eibach springs do not start and end exactly where the stock springs did, so that if you align the ends on the rubber perches where the old springs did, the bottom will be twisted a bit. If they didn't keep the same start stop points, the springs may just need to settle on the mounts. I would also double check the part number on both the front springs.

 

sorry to hear that the install went awry. whats going on with you is definitely not the norm. you should right away tell a difference with the drop all around. idk if the install was done right. GL to you and hope the problem gets fixed

 

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah i didnt think it was right. Luckily i work for my father's towing company so ill just tow it to one of the many shops we tow for. I just like to do things myself when i can.

 

Let us know what the outcome and solution turns out to be!

 

yup that does not sound right at all, i did the whole spring install myself, and as soon as i lowered the car off the lift, i could fit only 1 finger in between the tire and fender well. let us know what the issue was and the outcome! good luck!

 

well i figured out was wrong right away as soon as i pulled my pass. wheel off. i dont know how, but the shock wasn't sitting in the fork that connects it to the control arm properly, therefor basically raising that side. Must have been a stupid noob move on my part. Thanks for the help though guys.

 

isnt that dangerous. post some pix im looking to do a eibach drop

 

wow, im glad that you found out what the problem was post pics when u have time
