Sorry in advance if this post is in the wrong section. I've just had my '02 lowered with Eibach pro-kit springs. They claimed to lower the car about an inch. Maybe it's my eyes or something but for some reasons I see the front has more gap than the rear. Does anyone else have theirs lowered with Eibach see the same thing? Is this normal? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Here are some pics (click on pic to enlarge):

I just clicked on your link and they are works as a suspected, but does the car ride rougher? that is what I am affraid off, also waiting on more money for Koni yellows and ground-control.com adjustables. all at one time, I think this will be the superb set up.

Your eyes do not deceive you Nathan, the fronts seems to have a larger gap than the rears. I hope someone comes up with something to resolve your predicament.
Nice wheels by the way. Work wheels was my first choice but they were not readily available. I am more into going to a shop getting it and installed the same day. I hate waiting.

wc_one, you're funny...i don't have anything in the trunk.

CMiS2K, I feel so far that the ride with Eibach springs is about the same if not a bit more comfortable than stocks. Once you have your Eibach springs installed, could you please update here if you have or don't have the same problem like mine? Thanks. I measured the fender gaps and it's roughly an inch in the front and about 3/4 inch in the rear.

Tan, thanks. I got my wheels the same day...in and out...

I would think the the springs would settle a little over the next couple weeks. If you only have a 1/4 inch difference in the gap this might go away after they settle....

First off, you def need to wait till everything settles. I would give the guys over at eibach a call though. They are more than helpful. they have all the data in their computers and can tell you exactly what your measurements need to be at. They will ask you to take the measurement of the distance from the center of the wheel to the fender lip. You should have done this before you dropped it but thats hindsight. That way they will tell you what s going on.

Those are sweet brakes man, the calipers look awsome. what kinda paint did you use? any up close pics of the rotors all you need now is a spugen wing
