Default Installed Eibach Sportlines with 5-perch Koni Yellows

I just installed my suspension tonight, i set all the perches to the lowest settings, the back end is a 1 finger gap, the front end is at about 2 1/2 finger gap, should i wait like a month for the springs to settle before adjusting them again? or should i raise the back perches up 2 or 3 nothces?

i think you should wait for it 2 settle..... i have pro-kits on stock shocks, and my car sounds like it's about as low, if not lower than yours.

i saw pix of a teg w/ pro-kits and yello's on the lowest perch and it was lower than you described

jus give it some time to settle.

I installed the sport lines with tokicos and it seems it took a week or 2 for them to settle.

the ride is great..
my question is though should i bother upping the perches on the back? or if the back is such a larger height difference than the front, are they gonna even out centered? cause theres a big gap difference

It's going to tag the bumpstops if you're that low. The Eibach sportlines are softer than my 400 lb/in up front, and I need to run a height of at least 25" from ground to top of wheel cutout.

You will hit the bumpstops at those heights. Just fyi.

Front it higher than the rear? Did you check to make sure you didn't install the front perches on the Koni's incorrectly? I got in a hurry and did that once. Then again, maybe I'm just stoopid...
