Default Eibach prokits

Anyone running prokits with the stock ap2 tires/wheels on here?

Im only curious cause I was wondering how much of a gap you have in the front.

I got my prokits installed on the the 19th, and the rear has deffinatly dropped.I had a three finger gap all around before ( i know thats not a very accurate way to measure), and now my rear is two tightly maybe even 1.5. But the front is more like 2.5 almost 3.

I know the prokits are subtle, but my ride was pretty even before and the rear has deffinatly come down an inch.

Ive searched and a lot of people see this on the prokits, but fix it by preloading the springs or they put the rears in front at first.

My springs were preloaded tho, and i know i have the rears in back.

I don't have the pro-kit but my Tanabe springs make it appear that the back it dropped more than the front. Once the springs settled the drop leveled out pretty much have a tight two finger gap in the back and a loose two finger gap in the front. I'm not worried about it to much once I get full coil-overs I will have more fine adjustment.

Don't post then.


From the ones I've seen they do "look" as if the back is dropped slightly more than the rear but not too noticeable.

back and rear are normally the same - are they not the same on CR's?
