so I bought a set of eibach springs and installed em on my ap1 this morning...
I have to admit im dissapointed on the drop... i know that an inch really isnt that much of a drop but the front literally looks not even 1/4 inch lower. The backs I am happy with and look like they were definatly dropped an inch but the fronts im confused about. Anyone else have the same situation or am i losing it? haha
thanks guys

 

..well, you just bought the wrong springs for your purposes.

 

eh im not as particular as my thread may appear since i could always swap out in the future but it just kind of took me by surprise

 

Yeah, but how'd they work?

That's the important thing, not just how they look

 

Preload the front and give them few weeks to settle.

 

Yea, that's terrible.

I'll buy em for $50

 

S2k Dre's right. Give them time to settle.

 

yea they work well... i know looks arent everything but i did buy lowering springs... lol
I dont know much about suspension... i bought the springs on shocks off another guy on the forums.. they were on his car about 6k miles ... should they have already settled? or is it a per car basis?

 

After I drove mine for 10 or so miles they did settle quite a bit. At least about .25", but probably closer to .75". No I didn't actually measure it then.

But mine are Tein S-techs. Drive it a little bit, it should settle a bit lower.

 

definitely agree.....just give it a little bit of time...
