Lowered on Eibach Pro-kit springs *pics*

I just finished lowering the G on Eibach Pro-Kit springs. The drop is a little over an inch in the front and about an inch in the back.

Very impressed with these springs. The car feels totally planted now, handling has greatly improved, and the harshness of the stock springs is gone. I still need to get it aligned in about a week or so. Hopefully I won't be needing anything extra to get my camber back in to spec.

Anyways, here are some pics. Remember that the springs have yet to settle, I'm still running on winter tires, and my OEM body kit hasn't been installed yet. I have a feeling I'm going to have to be a little more careful with driveways, inclines etc (although I had a slammed Celica before so I know the do's and dont's).

I've used Eibach on all my cars too...never had a problem. Matched them up with Koni's and the ride and drop were always perfect.

Let me know if you need to buy anything additional to correct the cambers. If not, then I am definitly going to buy the same setup as you. And you have Koni shocks right?

Haven't bought Koni shocks. I don't even know if Koni has an application yet for the G but I could be wrong. I will look into shocks very soon though.

thanks guys! It rides A LOT smoother in my mind. Granted I have only had them on for a few hours and without an alignment yet, I am very impressed. Not bouncy at all but not too firm.

Eibach Springs shouldn't settle. Other than setting into the spring seats themselves, there shoulc be no shortening of the loaded spring height itself over time.

that's exactly what I meant. I don't mean settle as in they will lower more. Although when I had Eibach springs on my Celica they actually did settle about a 1/4" after a few weeks (I verified thiis with measurements over the time period as well).
