[Shotimes] Spring Height Not really apparent (eibachs)

[Ron Porter]

Normally the Eibachs will only drop the front may 1/2-3/4" (unless you have
a cocked strut mount like I had on the old struts.....and the Koni/Eibachs
dropped the front an inch). The Eibachs seem to RAISE the rear for about all
cars.

What the Eibachs do is give the car a noticeable rake. Last Saturday, we had
a Koni/Eibach car (my former '95), my current '94 with Tokico/Eibach, and a
'94 ATX with a stock suspension all basically parked together. There is not
a large front drop, nor rear lift, apparent on the Eibach cars, but both of
them had the rake, and the stock-suspension car sits level.

Are you sure that the Eibach springs were installed on the rear? And if the
car isn't raked, where ANY of the Eibach springs installed? This is a
serious question, as I don't recall ever seeing an Eibach car that wasn't
raked. Maybe you got ripped off on the springs???????

I have put in eibach springs in my vehicle for 1 year and a half now and
honestly i have not noticed a lowered stance whatsoever. I have been meaning
to say this.... Plus my rear is very low, Not really liking it, Is their any
way to lower the front of the car a little more so that it looks even all
the way around?
