Eibach Prokit install and so far very Happy

I installed my new prokit springs and am very happy with them. They drop the car approx 1" which is what I wanted and they handle much better. Although the ride is harder (expected) it's by no means punishing like the Suspension Technique springs I had previous. They drop the car approx 2" and the ride was unbearable. That's when I went back to the original springs. Prokit gets the thumbs up from me Pictures before and after

Your car looking really good

Got a question for ya what size rims are you running, look like 17 inch rims and If you could measure your ground to fender lip front and back that would be great..thax

answers here

JTZ28,, here is a pic when I had the Suspension Technique Springs on. Notice how there is almost no room for the suspension to "spring". I could not push down on the front fender to get any spring back,, Terrible ride. With the Prokit I get some spring and the ride is much better, looks good, and I can ride over most dips and bumps without scraping.

black88cam- I did the measurements and came out with
front - 7/8 inch
rear - 1 7/8 inch from lip to tire. Hope this helps
