Default Eibach drop kit installed

Just got the eibach kit intalled last Friday, got some pics for you and additional picture of my just finished Spectre intake and Rotofab painted covers. Ran 13.82@101 a couple weeks ago.

Looks good. The wheels with the red accent look nice.

What was the overall drop front and rear with these springs? How much did they cost? And lastly is there any pogo or bouncing with these installed? Car looks beautiful man, good job all the way around.

The drop in the front was about 1" and the rear about .8". I like the opening front to rear to look close to the same, I think eibach did it just right. The springs are $231 and I bought mine from the tirerack. I rides very good, definetly firmer then stock, no bouncing at all. I'm happy with the results and thanks for the nice comments.

Not my favorite either. I'll be selling them this winter and I'll have something new in the spring. They do look much better up close, but, I know where your coming from.

Looks great at that ride height. I think the Pedders drop kit puts the car down too low to the ground. How hard was the install?

I think I have them sold, I'll know Monday. I will take my time to get the right ones this time. I will post when I get it finished. I think the pedders is to low in the back and not enough drop in the front. I like to see the same gap at the top of the tires. I know the pedders guys really like their springs and thats great, I just like my set up better. The spring took about 4 hours with alignment. Not bad at all.
