I don't want the back to be lower than the front, but don't know why the back looks lower. I even measured the gaps and front and back are 1/4 inch difference. Here's the pic:



Anybody out there with Eibachs can give me some info please. Thanks.

Hah, I feel a little better now. Glad to see someone else can confirm the same problem. Is it normal for Eibachs?

all eibach springs makes it look like it's lowered in the rear more than the front. i had eibach's on my integra and it did the same. that's why i don't recomend eibach's cause of the looks. in reality, the front and back of the car is lowered equal.

I have Eibachs (Pro-Kit) on my Accord and the front is lower than the back. It has approximately the same stance as my S2000 (but not the same handling of course).

I think the S2000 looks great when lowered an inch but after lowering my Accord with Eibach springs, I don't think I'd want to put up with the ride quality. In town, my Accord is comfortable but on the highway it gets harsh when the springs compress beyond the softer coils (progressive rate). With Tokico shocks all around, the front end still bobbed too much so I had to install a pair of Konis and set them to their stiffest setting.

I have B+G springs installed that lower the car 1.25 inches. It's not just Eibach springs that make the front wheel well larger than the rear's. I thought that mine were installed incorrectly also, but I guess that's just the way it is. If you measure the car's height from the ground, the car is actually equal though the front looks higher than the rear.

Good drop! I think the springs might settle another 5mm after initial install...That was the guess of my HKs Springs!

Thanks everyone for the info. I did measure the car's height from the ground and it's even all around. Just the look of the front is different than the rear gaps kinda make me wonder. I'm going to give time for the springs to settle and see what happens.

hello all,
i dropped my car with eibach's too and my front is definitely lower than the rear. I would actually like my rear to be slightly lower than where it stands right now. as for those having problems with the front seemingly not quite as low, make sure that when you drop the front that you put a load (by jacking the whole assembly up when re-assembling) back in to the ummmmm wishbone (a-arm thingy)?? i think thats what its called. anyways, hopefully that helps.
