Eibach Pro kit, anyone have pictures of them installed on a 1G AWD?

kristmen · Jun 4, 2005

Like the topic says, can some of you 1G AWD owners post pictures of your cars that have Eibach Pro springs? Pictures from maybe the side or whatever so I can see how your cars sit.

Friend of mine gave me a a set of KYB GR-2 shocks that had some Eibach Pro springs on them and I have bad front end wheel gap. Banks fine but the front is up in the air sorta high.

I did remove my A/C, PS steering, ABS and relocate my battery to the trunk but he did pretty much the same shit on his car and it didnt cause wheel gap. The gaps so bad if you stand about 50 feet away from the car you can look at the side of the car and see the body line along the side skirt and see where its angles up from rear to front.

These springs were uses so damn they shoulda settled by now. Who knows, maybe its normal. Anyone got pictures?

Hrmm..

My back end sits about the same as yours but my front end have more then twice as much wheel gap as the rear.

Its so noticable, if I stand about 50 feet from the car, looking on the side at a slight angle, I can see the side skirt slanting upwards from back to front. Its like I've put a jack under the car in the front and jacked it up an inch or so.

I know these springs are fully settled because they came off a friends friends car and he used them about a year and a half.

I dont know what to do other then cut a coil off or something.

DON'T EVER CUT A SPRING

It's not that big of a deal. I'm not trying to drop a stock spring 2 inches. Just even up the front end with the rear without going to coil overs.

When using springs it's ok to cut them as long as their lowering springs and if their progressive(have coils with big spacing than on the other end has coils that are veryclose together).

Cut the coils that are close together. try one at a time until you get the height you want.

I always set my car up with the front lower than the rear. it gives that old school drag car look and put weight in the front for better launching (fwd,rwd or awd).

How much of the bump stop do you need to cut of with these springs?

About an inch.
I dont think you have to cut the rears since how it goes together in a cup type of thing.
