Default eibach pro kit drop??

i just put in my eibach pro kit springs ...the front ( with a 3 finger gap) sits higher than the rear (with a 2 finger gap), i know the front will break in a little so the front and rear will look level to eachother...so, my question is, will the rear springs break also break in which will give me an uneven look???

i think all the eibach springs have a lower drop in the rear...i know my sportlines do. not 100% sure about the pro-kits.

Thats the way the prokit looks. I have them on my car and the back looks lower than the front but the car is pretty much even.

yep the rear will be lower. if you take everything out from the back it will be close to even but it will still sit lower.

I thought this had been discussed a million times before and we finally came up with the fact that since the front fenders are bigger than the rear ones, the front will "look" higher. I have the prokits, too and it took about 1.5-2 weeks for it to settle. I am pleased with the drop.

I hate the way spring only lowering kits look. I would save up and get some ground controls.

I waited for a couple of weeks to let the springs settle, which was what I was advised to do by the alignment shop. So unless you have serious alignment issues right now, I'd wait.
