Default Coil sleeve/ring things on Eibach Springs?

What's up guys, I am currently running Eibach Sportline springs with Eibach Pro Dampers. I'm lovin it right now. Only thing I don't like is the rake I get with the springs. I love the drop in the front but not in the rear. I just want it level.

Now I read that ground control uses off the shelf eibach springs for the coilover sleeves. If that's true, would it be possible for me to buy a pair of the collars (i'm not sure what they are called, the adjustable part of the coilovers) just for the rear to bring it down another inch or so?

Nope. Those sleeves and collars are for use with matching springs. You cannot use regular lowering springs because they are simply too tall.

That's why I do not recommend lowering springs. You can never get the car to sit the way you want it to.

Yeah, but the car had the eibachs already on stock shocks/struts when I bought it. It was ridiculously bouncy. I was just trying to get back some comfort and handling. And at $250 shipped for brand new eibach pro dampers vs. $700 for the GC/Koni setup, it wasn't a difficult decision. If I keep the car long enough I might go a different route. But it's not a high priority at this point.

Maybe the shocks are blown.

Oh yeah, sorry if I confused you. The stock shocks were blown. I replaced them with eibach pro dampers. All good now.
