Default eibach springs installed...

Well I got the Eibach springs installed today. First off I'd liek to say sorry for posting 200 new topics in about a week. Secondly I am sorta unhappy with the springs. It seems like they BARELY lowered the s2000. I know "they need time to settle" but how much will it settle. Im taking pics tomorrow to show everyone. FYI im on the stick honda 16's....hmm very displeased.. anyone comments or words of hope?

it should settle a lil more after they heat up from compressing and retracting from driving around, they will give in sooner or later, but at least you dont scrape the crap out of a c-west bumper everytime you pull into a parking lot!!! thats when you go ADJustaBLE

take it down some bumpy roads to work in the springs. after a bit of cyclic loading, it's rest position will be a bit lower. expect nothing extremely noticeable though. Eibach springs are more for performance rather than drop (which is kind of counterproductive seeing as how the OEM system is made by SHOWA).

thanks for the quick replies guys.. yeah i guess i shoudl way to see how they settle.. I should have gotten the kg/mm1.5 however with the amuse front lip (waiting for it) so you think the 1inch drop would be perfect.. (scraping wise)

I'd guess they have had time to settle by NOW.
