I just put on my Koni sport yellows with the Eibach sport line springs & camber kit. It was to lower the car 1 3/4" to 2" all the way around, but the front end looks like it sitting up too high. I was told that this is tipical for Eibach. Is this true? Maybe the springs just need to settle. I'll take a photo but I can't get one to post.

 

I have the exact same setup as you (Eibach sportlines and Koni Yellows) mine is pretty low...

did you install the front spring perch correctly? on the fronts the spring perch faces DOWN.. on the rears the spring perch faces UP... yeah I know it sounds like a stupid question.. but I've seen people install them backwards and didn't know until they were told so...

my rear did sit a little bit lower.. but in no way was my front sitting high... I also have a pretty hefty audio system in the rear so maybe that contributes to it looking low but the fronts aren't high on my car...

 

there was a post a few days ago about something similar. it had good pictures as well, but make sure the spring perches are in their upright position. this can essentially raise the front of the car if you have the perch sitting the wrong way up.

 

Great,

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out & post a photo in the morning. (if I can figure out how to do that) HINT HINT
