Problem with lowering springs

by **B_Master_Flash** » Sun Jan 11, 2004 3:54 pm

When I bought my Eibach pro-kit, i noticed it said 1.6" drop front and rear, which I though was wierd, cuz most drop the front more. Didn't think it was a big deal, but when I got it installed, it dropped the rear more than the front! It dropped 1.25" front and 1.75" rear, Now my car looks wierd w/ a 2 finger gap in the front and literally a 0 finger gap in the rear. anything I can do about this? I'll post pics when I get a chance.

that happens the rear of the car settles down more, my car is like that too, get aftermarket shocks if its still hapenning then........

plus the spring rate and all is different b/w front and rear. all pro-kits end up looking higher in the front and lower in the rear.

Eibach drop ratings have been discussed before saying that it looks like it drops more in the back

Im sure Kenny will jump on this one saying that hsi Teins drop evenly

But im in the same boat for the Eibachs... front just a lil higher but no biggie... at least I still clear some inclines/driveways!!! :lol:

whatever you do, try not to consider cutting the springs...
Hope you changed your struts too

from previous posts... someone said that its kind of a softer ride but will settle faster than eibachs?

but for the meantime, majority says its more of an even drop than eibachs... think krooked is the only one reversed heehe sorry man!

the eibachs are made for the front to be higher because our car is a front wheel drive car.

Get some Intrax springs its lowers about 2 1/2 but I love to drive it on turns just watch driveways

Also if you have an upgraded audio system in the trunk, that lowers the back alot...It did for me. :-?

I have Tein springs and over a hundred pounds of stereo stuff in my car and the front and back are both even

As far as the ride I think its good but I have never been in another lowered solara. I will have the compare with people at the Pismo meet.

indicate the tire sizes please. that would impact the gap (not majorly, but enough) =]

I see Solara1 has the Volk Winnings =] Now that's 2 Solaras... haha are yours fine forged?
