Default Eibach springs & Koni Adjustable shocks

I just installed eibach pro kits. The drop is 1 inch all around but It doesn't look low enough.

If I get the koni adjustable shocks, can I get the car lowered more?

Thanks

I have tein s-tech's with the koni's!!! I would definitly recomend the koni's, they are great... And I dropped them with the lower perch all around, the back is perfect, the front needs another half inch or so, so I'm gonna get another perch machined in and then I will be 100% satisfied! :thumbs up: for koni!!!!

By adjusting the Koni's themselves you're only changing the rebound effect of the shock - not the ride height.

Sorry - had to be technical

There should be a perch system and some instructions that came with the Ground Control kit on how to raise and lower the car - you do that by adjusting the perches around the springs

If they look like this you'll want to adjust the little gold/yellow ring around the big red "screwing threads":

I just realized that I didn't read the first post entirely - I thought you were asking how to adjust the Eibachs on Koni shocks, and just assumed you meant ground control kit and not pro-kit

I apologize - I'm dangerous without coffee

Yes, the Konis will give you more drop than the stock shock will. Besides that the stock shocks are not made to accept lower ride heights - it really shortens their life. Konis can handle many different configurations and have adjustable rebound

You can also get more drop by switching to different springs - if you pair Comptech springs with Koni's you're almost unlimited in ride heights.
