Freshly Lowered

Just got the springs done. They are eibach sportline springs.They've been in for about 5 days and the back went down 1 3/4 inches. I havent measure the front but it looks sweet with them .THey dont ride harsh at all . They actually seem like a smoother ride . heres the before pic.

Why is the back sooo high? Did you put new spring isolators in the rear?

the back sits so high because i have a chrysler 8 3/4 rear end in the car .The axle tubes are bigger so it raised the rear of the car like an inch . I think im gonna take out the spring insulators and put a piece of garden hose around the spring. I dont know which insulators i have . The previous owner put stock height progressive springs in so i dont know if they used new instlators. In the first pic i dont have the chyrsler rear end.

Looks 10 times better


IMO, the lowering springs should be one of the first things changed when doing the suspension along with a STB and SFC
